💡 Chef Tip

Squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini using a clean kitchen towel – this prevents a soggy loaf and keeps the texture perfectly tender.

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay – do not overmix.
5
Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
