Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour blend
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 small zucchini)
- 2 medium bananas (mashed)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Shred the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible to prevent the bread from becoming too moist.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the shredded and drained zucchini, eggs, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until all wet ingredients are well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir gently until fully combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the middle rack of the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to avoid it being gummy.
- Slice, serve and enjoy!
