Equipment

1 Grater

1 Large Mixing Bowl

1 9-inch Loaf Pan https://amzn.to/450bEjv

Parchment Paper

Ingredients

3 eggs
½ cup cashew butter or any nut butter
½ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice you can also use apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
3 tablespoon coconut flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup zucchini finely grated and strained
1 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
If you haven’t already, finely grate the zucchini and squeeze out any excess water with a towel (this is super important as zucchini can hold a lot of excess moisture that will make the bread too wet). Be sure to pack the measuring cup well with the grated zucchini and set aside.
1 cup zucchini
In a large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the eggs, cashew butter, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract and whisk well to combine.
3 eggs, ½ cup cashew butter, ½ cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the bowl and gently fold into the batter.
1 cup almond flour, 3 tablespoon coconut flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Add the grated zucchini it to the bowl along with the chocolate chips and gently fold to distribute.
1 cup zucchini, 1 cup chocolate chips
Grease an 8-inch loaf pan with oil and line with parchment paper (this will make it easier to remove). Transfer the batter to the pan and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top. Bake in the oven for 40 - 44 minutes until golden brown on top. Let the bread sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing into pieces.

Notes

Storing : Store leftover gluten free zucchini bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or out on the counter for up to 5 days. When ready to serve, I highly recommend warming up a slice in the microwave for 10 seconds and spreading some butter or nut butter on top.
