Chocolate Chip Zucchini Plantain Bread



A great flour free recipe to make in the summer when zucchini is in abundance. This recipe is inspired by Purely Twin's plantain bread that I make once a week! 
Plantains are a great flour substitute in grain free baking because of their high starch content. The riper the plantain is the sweeter this bread will be. For this one I recommend ripe brown plantains. Plantains are a great source of vitamin A, B6 and contain more potassium than a banana. Grade B maple syrup has a higher mineral content than grade A.
