Instructions

- Squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the grated zucchini, applesauce, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweetener.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure you squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini for a better texture.
- Adjust the sweetener to your taste preference.
