My daughters garden is really blooming this year and she has definitely kept me stocked with fresh veggies, zucchini being one of them. I have had a craving for something sweet lately, but not too sweet. So today a nice loaf of zucchini bread was definitely the best solution.
This was the very first time I have tried the recipe that will follow, and I was ready to be on a baking spree as I thought I might have to try the recipe several times, and possibly make several adjustments. I must have really been blessed today as I hit the mark the first time around.
Would I possibly make changes in the future? Maybe. But for now I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. My husband would prefer less nuts the next time around, however I would possibly prefer to add a little more spice. Yet it really is perfect just how it is.
I don't remember where I got the recipe but I hope you'll give it a try and leave a comment on the blog. Have a recipe you'd like to share or converted into a GF - Keto version let me know, I'll try my best.
I always weigh out my dry ingredients, it's so much easier and I find my recipes turn out so much better when I do. You can purchase a small scale from the Amazon Affiliate to the right of the page. I feel its a must have for any kitchen when using GF and Keto flours.
GF -Zucchini Bread
16 slices 1 slice= 3.3 g carbs 9x5 loaf
INGREDIENTS AND DIRECTIONS
Grease and line a 9x5 bread pan with parchment paper
Set oven to 350 degrees
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini packed ( make sure all excess water is squeezed from it)
2 1/4 cup Almond flour (252 g )
2 T Coconut flour (28 g )
10 T Allulose ( sugar sub )
3 teas double acting baking powder
1 teas ground cinnamon
1/4 teas ginger
1/4 teas nutmeg
5 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup melted butter
2 teas vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts, reserve 1/4 cup for topping
Mix flours, allulose, baking soda, spices, and 3/4 cup of the walnuts. Reserve the other 1/4 cup walnuts for top of bread.
In a separate bowl beat eggs, add zucchini, melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until fully mixed, do not over beat.
Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan, top with remaining nuts and press gently into the batter. Bake for 30 minutes. At this point cover loaf loosely with foil. Bake an additional 30 to 40 minutes. My loaf was done at the 60 minute mark, but all ovens work differently. A toothpick should come out clean in the center.
This recipe makes a moist tender loaf. I hope you will give it a try and hopefully enjoy it as much as we did. Till next post, Have a Blessed Day!
