Eat Well, Feel Well: #zucchinilicious

Zucchini Coconut Flour Bread



I've always wanted to try zucchini bread and I stumbled upon yet again a recipe on Detoxinista's website.  CHECK IT OUT!  It's a fantabulous website.

I love how it looks like meat loaf but trust me, it is far from being so.


Yields 1 loaf or 12 muffins!

3/4 cup coconut flour
6 eggs at ROOM temperature
1.2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nut meg (I used fresh grated :])
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini, tightly packed

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.  If you are making muffins, line a muffin tin with baking cups.


In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking soda and mix using a whisk.  The batter will be thick like a cake batter.  


 Stir in the shredded zucchini 


Scoop the batter into the loaf pan and level the top with a spatula or divide the batter evenly into 12 lined muffin cups.  Bake the loaf for 45-50 minutes until golden and firm on top.  For the muffins bake for 25-30 minutes.  Let the loaf cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.  Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.


This loaf is super moist!  For best shelf life, store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.  Trust me it won't last that long.


Slathered some almond butter, greek yogurt and blueberries on top.

Enjoy!
