PALEO ZUCCHINI BREAD [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups almond meal or sunflower meal, for a tree nut-free version
• 1 cup pecan meal, or sunflower meal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
• 2 flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, plus 3 tablespoons water per “egg”)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
• 3/4 cup zucchini, shredded
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

PREPARATION

1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons water and let sit, for the flaxseed “eggs.”
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour the flax “eggs” mixture into a small bowl and combine with the applesauce and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients and then add the coconut oil.
