Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener (erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini, well drained
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and grease an 8×4 loaf pan with butter.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Press grated zucchini in paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- Fold in drained zucchini and chopped pecans.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
Almond flour can be substituted with hazelnut flour for a unique flavor, and pecans can be swapped with walnuts. To reduce dairy, substitute melted butter with coconut oil and cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative. Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. If the loaf is too moist, ensure you wring out more liquid from the zucchini and bake until a toothpick yields only a few moist crumbs. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
