Equipment

Mixing bowls
Vegetable grater
bread loaf pan
Cooling rack

Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

3 cups white wheat, whole wheat, or all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pink sea salt

Wet ingredients:

2 eggs
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup organic raw cane sugar sub ½ cup maple syrup or honey
½ cup coconut oil, melted then cooled
½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottom of a bread loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and sea salt.
Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the egg, sugar, zucchini, and melted coconut oil.
Mix to combine completely.
NOTE: coconut oil will start to harden if you let it sit with the cool zucchini and eggs, make sure to mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients quickly!
Fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into a bread loaf pan.
Note: if you don't want thick slices, you can easily divide this recipe into 2 loaf pans, or divide the entire recipe in half to make a smaller loaf of zucchini bread.
Bake for 50-55 minutes on the center rack.
If a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, it's done. If it comes out with batter on it, add 5 minutes at a time and continue checking.
Allow your bread to cool for ~15 minutes or more before serving.
Enjoy!
To store your zucchini bread:
Cover with a cloth towel or beeswax wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Store in an air tight container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
