Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed to remove excess moisture)
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (toasted)
  • Optional: ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry zucchinis. Grate using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly. Add brown sugar, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let bread cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent sogginess. Use almond flour for moisture and richness. Tent bread with foil if browning too fast. Let bread cool fully before slicing for cleaner slices. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and flax eggs. Toast nuts before adding for extra flavor.
