Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup 70 g almond flour (finely ground)
  • 2 tablespoons 15 g coconut flour
  • ¼ cup 45 g olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini (about 1.5 cups or 210 g, grated and drained)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 slices 40 g Gouda cheese, shredded or chopped (you can substitute with other melting cheeses)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  • Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and place it in a strainer or clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step ensures your bread won’t be too wet.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly combined.

  • Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until smooth. Add the drained grated zucchini and stir to incorporate.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a smooth batter. Fold in the shredded Gouda cheese, distributing it evenly.

  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Draining Zucchini: Removing moisture from the zucchini is critical for achieving the right bread consistency.
  • Cheese Substitution: Swap Gouda with mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan to change up the flavor.
  • Make Ahead: This bread freezes well—wrap slices individually for quick, ready-to-go portions.
