1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional but delicious
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (+ 1/2 cup additional if desired for frosting)
1 teaspoon white or ACV vinegar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
5 Tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8" square baking pan.
In a bowl or measuring cup add vinegar to milk. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients (flour thru salt) and whisk to combine. Stir in 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips. To the dry ingredients, add the maple syrup, oil, milk/vinegar mixture, and vanilla. Stir just to combine. Add in the shredded zucchini and stir until all flour is incorporated.
Bake 30-35 minutes, until the center is no longer jiggly/or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. If you would like to add the chocolate chip frosting, immediately sprinkle the additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the hot cake. Let sit 2-3 minutes then take a spatula and lightly spread the now melted chocolate over the top of the cake. Let cool completely before serving.
