This extra moist and delicious zucchini banana bread (or cake) with a crunch oat topping is a combination of two all-time favorites. The deep dark colour and rich flavour come from the use of Dutch-processed cocoa powder and chopped milk chocolate.

- Combine oats, ground einkorn flour, raw brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Rub in coconut oil until the mixture resmebles coarse crumbs. Stir in mixed seeds. Set aside.
- Grate the zucchini on the small holes on a box grater. Squeeze shredded zucchini with your hands to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Line a standard-size loaf pan with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Whisk together the cocoa powder, einkorn flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, beat together coconut oil, raw sugar, stevia, eggs, and bananas until well combined. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in zucchini and chocolate chunks.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the streusel over. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

This is like a killer cake! All of my favorites in here, too! Jeez, Angie. I'm going to be dreaming about this all night!
Looking so soft crumbs and delightful! I want a slice too!
Such a chocolaty loaf!!! I can't stop staring at it...
I have still never tried zuchinni bread and I really think I am missing out as you get to eat chocolate, and get some vegetables too. This looks SO good.
Perfect timing because zucchini sate huge and growing like mad over here. I just love how dark and rich this bread looks.

As with everything you create, this is gorgeous Angie. The chocolate looks so dark and luscious it's hard to believe it has zucchini it.

I was craving a struesel topping anything for a week now and I see this. Looks so good and the addition of zucchini with the banana sound so good. Would feel a bit less guilty to have more than a slice.
