Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup almond milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely grated zucchini, excess water squeezed out
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease three mini loaf pans or one 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, add brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, oil, almond milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix with a hand mixer on low until combined.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix on low until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
  5. Fold in grated zucchini and mix for 30 seconds. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips by hand.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pans, filling 2/3 full. Bake mini loaves for 30–35 minutes, or a full loaf for 45–50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Finely grate and squeeze zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Don’t overmix the batter after adding flour. Store bread wrapped at room temperature for 3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
