Almond Flour Chocolate Loaf
Want to dive into mostly guilt-free chocolate goodness? Here you go: Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and set aside. I used sugar-free chips. Mix together 1/4 cup butter with 1/3 cup xylitol until well blended. Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla and a tablespoon of coconut oil, and melted chips. Add 1 1/4 cups Almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon each of baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add an additional handful or two of more chocolate chips. Blend, then transfer to a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Let sit in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate or cutting board. But wait, the chocolate goodness is NOT over. Melt about 1/2 cup chocolate chips and a tablespoon or so of butter. (I did use regular chips for this part because I just felt like it). Drizzle over the bread, and lick the bowl. Pour a cup of coffee and enjoy a (mostly) sugar- and gluten-free treat!
