Scale
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups tightly-packed grated zucchini (from about 1 large zucchini)
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour (use all-purpose flour if you aren’t gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (you can also use brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 eggs, beaten (use 2 flax eggs* for vegan)
- 1/3 cup ghee or butter, melted (use coconut oil for dairy allergies or vegan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a spatula to stir together until combined.
- Add the eggs, ghee, and vanilla extract, and stir until the mixture is combined.
- Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a fork or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
- *To make 2 flax eggs, combine two tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using.
- If you don’t have a food processor to shred the zucchini, you can use a large cheese grater.
- You can bake the bread in a muffin tin, if you prefer. I would suggest increasing the temperature of your oven to 375 degrees F and baking the muffins for 35-40 minutes.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips to the bread. You can stir in about 1/2 cup with the dry ingredients.
