Gluten Free Zucchini Bread With Almond Flour
To make this recipe, you may either learn how to make blanched almond flour (spoiler alert – it’s ridiculously easy!) or use your favorite store-bought brand. You will want to use fine, blanched almond flour, though, versus almond meal. Meal, ground from almonds with their skins on, will give a coarser, crumbly texture.
For the zucchini, I highly recommend squeezing the grated zucchini slightly in paper towels before stirring it into the batter. Since almond flour quick breads contain more moisture, you’ll want to cut back on the water content zucchini adds.

Gluten Free Zucchini Bread
Gluten-free almond flour recipes are not only loaded with nutrients, but also has a wonderful rich flavor that enhances dishes. When using almond flour in bread it will have a slightly courser, rustic texture because the flour is not actually a grain.
It also contains a lot more moisture, so a one-to-one conversion isn’t recommended for gluten free bread recipes. Typically more almond flour is needed than all purpose flour and the liquids will have to be reduced.
Decrease the amount of almond flour to 1 3/4 cups and add 1/4 cup coconut flour, oat flour, or gluten-free all purpose flour. Substituting all the almond flour for another flour will not work for this recipe.

Almond flour works differently than gluten-free or traditional flour. It doesn’t have a “doughy” texture and contains a lot more moisture. Plus there is moisture added from the zucchini.
Therefore, error on the side of slightly overbaking, not necessarily when toothpick comes out clean. This will ensure all the excess moisture has evaporated and your bread is cooked through.
The crust of the bread should be firm, dry, have a nice golden brown appearance, and the middle should be set. Using a knife inserted in the middle will be a better indicator if the bread is adequately baked before pulling from the oven.

To make this gluten-free bread low carb, replace the brown sugar with a sugar substitute or low carb sweetener. Some good options are: monk fruit, erythritol, splenda, or coconut sugar for a paleo bread. Be sure to leave the optional Turbinado sugar off, too.
Sugar Substitutes Originally the recipe was posted using honey. I found replacing it will brown sugar makes a better texture. You may still use honey or maple syrup, but the crumb will be more moist and the baking time will extend for a few minutes. For a low carb zucchini bread, replace with a sugar-free brown sugar sweetener.
