Happy September! WOW! The summer really flew by! It has been quite awhile since I have shared any recipes, but as you can see, lots of changes have happened! I thank you all for your patience! But, I am officially back and have lots of delicious recipes to catch you up on!
I think it is safe to say that August is (was) the time of year when almost everyone plays around with zucchini recipes! Especially zucchini bread! I remember as a kid, eating my grandmother’s homemade zucchini bread (usually with walnuts) covered in lots of butter or cream cheese! Just typing that is making my mouth water right now! Before my Whole30 began I had a major craving for zucchini bread. It was sudden, but that craving came on strong! In my opinion, when you are craving something, you should always find a way to satisfy it! Insert: this amazing sugar-free paleo zucchini bread! It was so good I ended up making a second batch when my Whole30 was done — and slathering it in peanut butter this time! It was too perfect!
This recipe was a spin off of a recipe for Zucchini Walnut Muffin from way, way back in the day. Since my knowledge on baking with coconut flour has greatly expanded over the years, I wanted to play around with the recipe and make it #Paleo friendly. Well, the ‘playing’ was a very, very delicious success! The best part, it took me only a few minutes to toss it together and pop it in the oven! Within 1o minutes my house was filled with a delicious, sweet cinnamon scent!
And can we just talk about the ingredients used here! Every single item is a ‘whole food’! Coconut flour, coconut oil, eggs, egg whites, cinnamon, zucchini, my favorite Vietnamese cinnamon (much sweeter than regular cinnamon), apple cider vinegar and sea salt (not shown). You won’t even miss the sugar in this recipe! But, if you do want to give it a sweeter kick I have an alternative for you below! Probably, my most favorite part of this recipe is how versatile it is! Look at all of the different mix-ins you can use to give it a different twist every time!
- chocolate chips
- walnuts
- cranberries
- dried pineapple
- lemon zest
- fresh blueberries
- raspberries
- or even swap the applesauce for banana or pumpkin
