Ingredients
- 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.
