12 steps

Set oven to broil.
Finely grate the zucchini.
Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a bit of olive oil. Place the grated zucchini on the sheet and mix in a little ground cinnamon.
Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the following ingredients: date puree, eggs, unsweetened applesauce and water (the quantity will vary depending on the flour you use).
It should now be time to take your zucchini out of the oven and then set it at 350°F (180°C).
Right, back to our bowl. Add the vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. You can wait for the little bubbling effect if you like and then mix everything together.
Finally, stir in all the remaining ingredients: flour (of your choice, with or without gluten), chia seeds, zucchini, pecans and organic whole and soft dried cranberries.
Yes, yes, yes, take your time to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed. If you feel there’s not quite enough liquid, add a bit of water… Trust your instinct. Some types of flour absorb more water than others ;-)
Lightly grease the cake pan (if you don’t, everything will stick) and then pour your mixture into the pan. (What did I use? Coconut oil.)
If you’re up for it, you can garnish with loads of dried cranberries and pecans. Yumski!
Pop that beauty into the oven for about 40 minutes (45 minutes if you’re using gluten-free all-purpose flour) and then allow to cool. Oh my, oh my, how I love that sweet smell of happiness!
