Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1 ½ cups (about 150g) shredded zucchini, squeezed to remove excess water
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan.
  2. Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla extract; stir well.
  5. Fold the squeezed zucchini into the wet ingredients until combined.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding carefully to avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in chopped nuts if using.
  8. Transfer batter to the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if top browns too fast.
  10. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let bread cool completely before slicing for best texture.
