Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This helps prevent the loaf from being too wet.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), erythritol, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Zucchini:
- Gently fold the shredded zucchini into the batter. If you’re using nuts or chocolate chips, fold those in as well.
- Pour Batter into Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Slice and enjoy! This loaf pairs wonderfully with a bit of butter or as is.
Tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to avoid a soggy loaf.
- Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
Enjoy your delicious and low-carb zucchini sugar loaf!
