Ingredients:
- 2 cups (200g) super-fine almond flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) coconut flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp (5g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) zucchini, shredded and squeezed dry
- 3 large (150g) eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Pulse the zucchini in the food processor until finely shredded.
- Place shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly until no more water drips out. Note: This is the most important step for texture.
- Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir in melted butter, room temperature eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- Fold in the squeezed zucchini and chopped walnuts using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spoon.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes until the edges are deep golden brown.
- Insert a toothpick into the center; it must come out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
