Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or minced ginger
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup nuts I used walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a cheese grater, grate and shred the zucchini into smaller bits. Place the zucchini on a paper towel. Sprinkle salt throughout. This will allow the zucchini to sweat out excess moisture. I let the zucchini sit for 30 minutes to release moisture.
- Add the eggs, olive oil, and vanilla to a medium-large bowl and whisk.
- Squeeze the excess liquid out of the shredded zucchini. Add the zucchini and ginger to the eggs and olive oil. Stir.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, granular sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir.
- Add the zucchini and egg mixture to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Use a hand mixer and blend until fully incorporated.
- Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Spoon the bread batter into the loaf pan. Smooth the top of the batter.
- Sprinkle the walnuts throughout the top.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes until you can insert a toothpick and it returns clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- I only needed to use 1 large zucchini to gather 1 cup. The amount of zucchini you will need will vary based on size.
- You can fold in Lily's Low Carb Chocolate Chips with the nuts or instead of nuts if you like.
- Squeezing the water from the zucchini is really important. You will end up with soggy bread if you don't do this.
- Zucchini is a veggie that is filled with a lot of water. You will not be able to remove all of the water and moisture, but following the steps above, will remove most.
- For additional flavor you can add lemon zest.
- Almond butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, and grass fed butter make great toppings for zucchini bread.
