Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (255gr) ~ 2 medium zucchini

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour 240 gr
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¼ cup grapeseed or coconut oil melted and cooled
  • ½ cup coconut sugar (66gr)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add Ins:

  • ½ cup walnuts chopped
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips as a garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a 8X4 or 9X5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Shred zucchini using the large section of a box grater. Place it in the middle of a kitchen cloth, collect it from the edges, and squeeze as much liquid as possible. Set it aside.
  • Whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Whisk together eggs, oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix until combined.
  • Fold in the shredded zucchini and walnuts.
  • Transfer the batter into the loaf pan.
  • Sprinkle it with chocolate chips, if using.
  • Bake 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes on the counter. Remove the zucchini loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack or on the counter.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

  • To turn this into Paleo Zucchini Muffins: Scoop the batter into a 12-cup muffin tin lined with parchment paper cupcake liners. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center springs back to the touch.
  • Best way to store: Once cooled completely, this low carb zucchini bread can be stored wrapped in parchment paper or in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Best way to freeze: Let it cool completely. Wrap each piece individually with pre-cut parchment paper, then tightly in plastic wrap. Label, date and freeze up to 3 months.
