Have too many zucchinis in the garden? Make yourself some delicious coconut oil zucchini bread made with 100% whole grains and no butter!
Anyone else crave a giant cup of coffee and carbs come 2PM? It’s like clockwork…every. single. day. Sometimes a ball just doesn’t do the trick (did I just say that?) and I want something a little bit more hearty like a slice of bread!
As a kid I wouldn’t touch zucchini bread because veggies + sweet = not possible.
FALSE. I finally tried my mom’s zucchini bread because she added chocolate chips and fell in love!
In this recipe I really wanted to focus on using as many whole ingredients as possible. Let’s check out the line up.
- White Whole Wheat Flour
- Coconut Oil
- Apple Sauce
- Zucchini
- Coconut Sugar
- Almond Milk
- Maple Syrup
Seriously PERFECTION and guilt-free!
Perfectly moist and THE BEST SNACK EVER.
Especially with a latte on a cloudy day. Speaking form experience, here
Coconut Oil Zucchini Bread
- Total Time: 1 hours 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup shredded zucchini, unpacked*
1.5 cups white whole wheat flour
½ cup coconut sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
⅓ cup apple sauce, unsweetened
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 egg, whisked
1 and ¼ cup almond milk, unsweetened
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a bread pan with coconut oil cooking spray. Set aside.
- Next, place dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix until combined.
- Prep zucchini by using a small cheese grater to shred it. Then, place shredded zucchini into your palms and squeeze as much water out as possible. You will have to do this multiple times as zucchini has lots of water in it!
- Place wet ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined. Then, slowly add dry ingredients to wet and mix until your batter is completely combined.
- Pour batter into bread tin and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Make sure you squeeze as much water out of the zucchini as possible! You can either squeeze it in your palm or use a cheesecloth or paper towel.
