ZUCCHINI BREAD

1 cup zucchini, shredded finely and squeezed out
-
Drops of Monk Fruit to taste OR 2-3 Tbsp. raw honey , or maple syrup

1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil, plus extra if greasing the pan
-
1/2 cup coconut flour
-
3/4 tsp. baking soda
-
1/2 tsp. sea salt
-
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
-
½ tsp. nutmeg
-
1 tsp. raw apple cider vinegar
-
1/2 cup walnuts, (optional)
-
3 T chia seeds
-
½ cup unsweetened yogurt
-
5 whole cloves placed in ¼ cup of water.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F
-
Mix together the chia seeds and the yogurt and set aside to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid
-
Line a small loaf pan (8” x 4”) with parchment paper or grease it with coconut oil and set aside.
-
Shred the zucchini finely (either with a cheese grater or a food processor.) You need to get the liquid out of the zucchini - don’t skip this step! Place on paper towels or in a colander lined with paper towels and salt it lightly. Let sit. Later you will squeeze it out like you are squeezing out a wet sponge.
-
Mix the eggs, sweetener, mashed banana, coconut oil, and yogurt/chia in a large bowl.
-
Mix in the dry ingredients.
-
Add the squeezed, shredded zucchini and the apple cider vinegar.
-
Stir until the batter is smooth.
-
If the batter is very dry, you can add a little water flavored with a few cloves.
-
Taste and adjust the spices accordingly. (I often double cinnamon and nutmeg!)
-
Stir in the optional nuts.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
