Equipment
- Loaf Pan (9x5 inch)
- Muffin Tin (12-cup)
- Large mixing bowl
- Clean Kitchen Towel
Ingredients
- 2 Cups almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional, for sweet bread)
- 0.5 Cup sugar-free granulated sweetener (optional, for sweet bread)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 Large Eggs lightly beaten
- 0.25 Cup Melted butter
- 1.5 Cups Grated Zucchini (with peel), liquid squeezed out
- 0.5 cup walnuts optional
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips optional
- 1 cup blueberries optional
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, or prepare a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, baking soda, and if you're making a sweet bread, add the cinnamon and sugar-free sweetener.
- Prep the Zucchini: Grate your zucchini, then place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as you possibly can – this vital step ensures your bread turns out perfectly moist and not soggy! Discard the liquid.
- Mix Wet & Dry: Add the squeezed zucchini, beaten eggs, and melted butter directly to your dry ingredient mixture. Stir everything gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Optional Flavor Boost: For an extra touch, gently fold in ½ cup of walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, or 1 cup of blueberries into the batter before baking.
- Bake a Loaf: If making a loaf, pour the batter into your greased loaf pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Bake Muffins: For muffins, divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let your zucchini bread or muffins cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy this healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make treat!
