Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 1 cup sugar*
  • 1 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 3 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)**

Method
 

  1. Grate the zucchini using a hand grater or food processor. We used 2 medium-sized zucchinis and had some leftover. 2 small-sized zucchinis would be perfect or one large zucchini.
  2. Measure 2 cups of the grated zucchini for the bread recipe.
  3. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  4. Beat 3 eggs until light and foamy.
  5. Add 1 cup avocado oil, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup coconut sugar, 2 cups grated zucchini, and 3
    tsp vanilla.
  6. Mix lightly but well.
  7. Add 3 cups flour and mix.
  8. Add 3 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tbsp cinnamon and stir to combine.
  9. Add ½ cup chopped nuts, if using, and stir gently.
  10. Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch loaf pans.
  11. Split the batter evenly between both pans.
  12. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  13. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  14. Remove from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  15. Enjoy!

Notes

*Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than refined sugar. 1 cup of coconut sugar can be used in place of the 1 cup of sugar. Resulting in 2 cups of coconut sugar total to be used in the recipe.
**Optional add-ins: ½ cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are a great option), chocolate chips, or raisins.
