Ingredients:
- 210g gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 50g super-fine almond flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 120ml avocado or grapeseed oil
- 150g light brown sugar, packed
- 50g granulated cane sugar
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 300g fresh zucchini, grated but not squeezed
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Note: Using parchment paper slings makes removal effortless.
- Grate 300g of zucchini using the coarse side of your grater. Do not squeeze the liquid out.
- In a large bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 150g brown sugar and 50g granulated sugar until the mixture looks pale and slightly frothy.
- Slowly pour in 120ml of oil and 1 tbsp vanilla, whisking constantly to create a smooth emulsion.
- Fold in the 300g of grated zucchini until the shreds are well distributed throughout the liquid.
- Sift in 210g GF flour, 50g almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and spices.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid over mixing, though GF flour is more forgiving than wheat.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and the top is dark golden.
- Let the loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
