WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a large bowl, combine almond meal, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.

In a separate bowl, combine mashed banana, almond milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract.

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir to combine.

Place grated zucchini between two layers of paper towel and squeeze out excess liquid, and then add to the batter.
