Ingredients
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (moisture squeezed out)
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly grease it.
2. Grate zucchini, measure 1 1/2 cups, and squeeze out the excess moisture.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
6. Fold in the grated zucchini gently.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to avoid a soggy texture.
Use room temperature eggs to help the batter blend better and rise evenly.
Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a light, tender crumb.
