5 minute Zucchini bread(No Grains, No Added Sugar)
http://www.primallyinspired.com
Recipe is very forgiving - One of those you can experiment with!
hw: interesting the recipe will work without the dates. If you want a truly sugar free quick bread do not add the dates or any fruit. Of course the dates add that sweetness ;)
This is made in a blender (I have an inexpensive blender ,not a high speed blender -yet- so I add the eggs first (oil,zuc, dates- blend) then the remaining leaving the coconut flour at the very last because it gets to thick for my blender. I usually can only add about half the coconut flour and then I use a spoon to hand mix right in the blender.
- 1 medium zucchini (about 3 cups -recipe is forgiving more or less is okay) , for really seedy zucchinis cut in half and seeds scraped out with a spoon then cut into chunks (hw: author says you must scrape the seeds or the bread is mushy)
- 4 eggs
- 12 pitted dates (you can also use 2 bananas or 6-8 figs or a combo of both figs and dates)
- ¼ cup melted butter, ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (make sure grain free or omit)
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- optional add-in's: 1/3 cup chocolate chips, walnuts or any other nuts or seeds (hw: not chocolate chips if your looking for no sugar added)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add zucchini chunks, dates, eggs, butter, and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, apple cider vinegar and sea salt and blend once again until thoroughly mixed.
- If you are using any add-in's. Add them now and briefly stir.
- Pour into a regular sized well greased (or parchment lined) loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes. (hw: If you use a 8x8 pan cut the baking time back maybe to 40 -keep a check on)
- I do not use icing but this was mentioned in the orginal recipe:
A super simple chocolate icing is 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/3 cup coconut oil and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Melt everything in a pot. Refrigerate for 20 minutes and then whip with a mixer until it’s nice and fluffy. So good!
