Description
Almond Flour Lemon Zucchini Bread is a healthy, moist, and nutty breakfast option with bright lemon flavor, combining almond flour, zucchini, and a touch of sweetness from honey or maple syrup.
Ingredients
2 cups almond flour
1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped almonds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
You can add walnuts or pecans for an added crunch.
If you prefer a sweeter bread, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup to 1/3 cup.
Dried cranberries or raisins can be added for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
