In an effort to eat healthier, I came up with this recipe for a much healthier zucchini bread, and I was pleasantly surprised that something that is good for you tastes so good. I have raspberry plants and a garden with zucchini so these are plentiful at this time of year. I also have an apple tree where I cook the apples down with no sugar added and then jar them for later use.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
- 1 ½ cups chickpea flour (besan)
- 3 cups grated, drained zucchini
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 2 loaf plans with coconut oil and sprinkle with gluten-free flour.
Step 2
Beat eggs in a large bowl; stir in coconut sugar, coconut oil, applesauce, cane sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, Ceylon cinnamon, and Himalayan salt. Mix in gluten-free flour and chickpea flour, 1 cup at a time; stir until mixed well. Fold in zucchini, pecans, and raspberries. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
Step 3
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.
Cook’s Notes:
Walnuts can be substituted for the pecans, if desired.
