Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan (9x5 inches).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and erythritol until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the grated zucchini, almond milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the bread's fluffy texture.
- If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips
- For added flavor, try incorporating spices like nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.
- You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.
- This bread freezes well; slice and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
