Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This is pretty high carb, due to the honey.  I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I think you could use sugar-free honey substitute or sugar-free maple flavor syrup to bring the carbs down to around 4.  If you do use an artificial flavor, it won't be "paleo" - but might be yummy..

8 slices

INGREDIENTS:
  1 1/4           cups  almond flour -- not meal
     1/4           cup  cocoa powder
     1/4      teaspoon  sea salt

Low Carb Cheesecake Nut Crust

Low Carb Cheesecake Nut Crust
Nutrition Data is for the whole crust

NOTES : The nuts can be chopped rather than ground into meal for a crunchier consistency.

Be careful with calories - since this is nut-based, it's low in carbs, but very high in fat and calories.  If making a "pie" another alternative is to make the fillings in cups, and sprinkle a bit of this on top as a "crumble."
