Equipment

  • 1 Loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 2 small zucchini; about 1.5 cups grated or 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup applesauce, unsweetened
  • 2 cups gluten free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or use cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Grate zucchini into a large bowl. Add eggs, maple syrup, milk, olive oil, and applesauce to the bowl. Whisk together until combined and set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add this flour mixture to the bowl with the zucchini.
  • Stir everything together a couple times. Grate in the lemon rind and stir just until no streaks of flour are left.
  • Using a spatula, scrape the batter out of the bowl and into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 60 minutes. Test with a toothpick in the centre of the loaf - if it comes out clean, it's done. If not, bake for additional 3 minutes and check the loaf again.

Notes

This zucchini bread is so easy to freeze. To freeze it, let the loaf cool.
Once cooled, cut the loaf into slices. Wrap individually and then place in container with a lid or freezer-safe bag.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
