A moist and tender paleo zucchini bread made with almond flour, perfect for a wholesome, gluten-free treat that is easy to prepare and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (240g) almond flour, finely ground
  • 2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups grated, squeezed to remove excess moisture)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup, pure
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold the squeezed zucchini into the wet ingredients. If using nuts, fold them in now.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together until just combined. If the batter is too dry, add a tablespoon of almond milk.
  7. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Check at 45 minutes by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid sogginess. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Let the bread cool completely before slicing. If the top browns too fast, tent with foil. Vanilla extract enhances flavor. For nut-free, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour. For vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs.
