Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1 ½ cups (about 1 medium) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • ⅓ cup (113g) honey
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, honey, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in applesauce if using.
  5. Add the grated zucchini to the wet mixture and stir gently.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in chopped nuts if desired.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread. Squeeze zucchini well to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Cooling in pan before removing helps maintain moisture and shape.
