The Best Paleo Zucchini Bread

You’re going to love this paleo zucchini bread! The recipe is a spin on my super popular Sugar-Free Breakfast Muffins. This fluffy and buttery recipe is the perfect base for zucchini bread. I added a little more coconut flour to compensate for the moisture of the zucchini.

The result is a perfect paleo zucchini bread that is truly PACKED with zucchini, boasting 1 1/2 cups of grated (and drained) fresh zucchini! That’s a lot of veg mixed into the perfect loaf.

Grain-Free Zucchini Bread Ingredients

Simple ingredients, this paleo zucchini bread uses common paleo flours, melted ghee, and vanilla bean.

• 1-2 large zucchini, grated and squeezed. It’s important to get as much water out of the zucchini as possible.
• Blanched almond flour, you want a finely ground almond flour, from almonds without skin on them. The difference is that non-blanched almonds create a speckled flour vs a white one.
• Coconut flour, always use sparingly, it’s VERY absorbant.
• Vanilla bean scrapping, or you can use extract too.
• Melted ghee or grass-fed butter, however, coconut oil will work too.
• The chopped walnuts are optional, but delicious
• Cinnamon for spice, but you can also do cardamom or nutmeg!

Step by Step Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

• Whisk together dry flours and then make a well.
• In the well combine the eggs and melted butter and whisk.
• Then fold in the flour until a dough forms.

• Fold in the chopped walnuts and zucchini.
• Mix until well combined.
• Transfer mix to a greased loaf pan.
• Bake for an hour or until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips and Tricks for Successful Baking

Grain-free baking can be a little finicky, then you add in a wet component like zucchini and it can seem impossible. I’m here to show you how to make paleo zucchini bread perfectly.

1. Start with room-temp ingredients, especially the eggs.
2. Measure your flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup and then scraping the top of the cup with a butter knife to level it out. This ensures you’re not packing your cup too tight which will result in dry bread.
3. Whisk dry ingredients vigorously to air out and remove all clumps.
4. Whisk eggs and butter until frothy, but once you combine the wet and dry – Don’t over-mix!
5. Always let your loaf cool before unmolding.
