Description
This easy gluten-free zucchini bread is moist, tender, and subtly sweet, with warm cinnamon and nutmeg. Made with almond flour and gluten-free oat flour, it’s a wholesome loaf for breakfast, snacks, or dessert—and a perfect way to use up summer zucchini.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (lightly squeezed, see notes)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or avocado oil)
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Shred the zucchini. Gently squeeze out excess liquid with clean hands or a paper towel (don’t over-squeeze).
3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir just until combined (avoid overmixing).
6. Fold in shredded zucchini evenly.
7. Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then cool completely on a rack before slicing.
Notes
Zucchini tip: Lightly squeezing removes water so the loaf bakes through, but leaving a little moisture keeps it tender.
Pan + timing: If the top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil for the last 10–15 minutes.
Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (gluten-free).
Storage: Wrap and store 2 days at room temp, 5 days in the fridge, or freeze sliced up to 3 months.
