Mmmmm…zucchini bread! Warm zucchini bread with melting butter just makes my mouth water. Even better, this zucchini bread recipe with coconut flour is easy to make and doesn’t take a crazy amount of ingredients. You definitely want to make this one at home!
I decided to make this zucchini bread because, recently, I have found that I end up with too much zucchini and sometimes it goes bad. Clearly, my meal planning is off, I need to work on it.
Healthy Zucchini Bread Recipe
Another more important reason is that I wanted to make a healthy treat for my husband. If you’ve read my 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies post, you’ll know that he LOVES peanut butter. And not the healthy kind. He’s a huge fan of Creamy JIF. He actually looks down upon my organic crunchy peanut butter preference, lol.
A few days ago, he decided he was going to cut down on the sugar in his diet. He wants to be healthier (yay!). This meant that he would have to eliminate his daily after-dinner peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This is huge!
I know his daily PB&J makes him really happy. So, I decided to try a few healthy recipes to replace his daily obsession. This zucchini bread with coconut flour is the first recipe. And I’m happy to say he loved it! He kept going back for more. He kept saying, “this is so moist” and “I love that it only has a hint of sweetness.” Needless to say, I’ll be repeating this recipe again.
The Best Vegan Gluten Free Zucchini Bread
It’s very important to know that not all flours are created equal. As a result, the proportions of certain ingredients in a recipe will vary, depending on the flour you use.
Coconut flour is an excellent example of this. When substituting one cup of all-purpose flour with coconut flour, you must add 1/4 cup of coconut flour and increase the number of eggs by one. Depending on the recipe, if I only add one egg, I’ll add 3 Tbsp of coconut flour, instead of 4 Tbsp (1/4 cup). Otherwise, I may increase the eggs by two. This is because coconut flour is very absorbent.
When you add too much coconut flour to a recipe, it sucks up all the moisture of your eggs, oil, and other liquid ingredients. Then you’re left with what I call gunk. It just won’t bake.

Ultimately, if you’re substituting with coconut flour in a recipe, you might just need to play around with it. Just make sure that you’re adjusting by a Tbsp or an egg at a time.

It’ s come to my gradual attention that I don’t have many low carb breads on the blog. I have a low carbbanana bread recipe, and a low carbpsyllium-flaxbread recipe but that’s all. Two low carb bread recipes in 1 1/2 years. I find that somewhat shameful. :)
Lately, I’ve been seeing Summer garden pictures from friends and followers on Facebook and Instagram feeds. Some of you are already enjoying the bounty of your gardens; tomatoes are ripening, buds are being set and soon some of you will experience the zucchini glut. We know it comes every year, but are any of us truly ready for it?
Healthy Almond Flour Zucchini Bread
My mother used to grate a bunch of zucchini, salt it, squeeze it dry and freeze it for use throughout the year. Because we moved around a lot in my childhood, we didn’t always have a garden, but when we did my mom would make zucchini bread in the summer . I’m not sure if I was more thankful that the bread was sweet and delicious or that I couldn’t taste the zucchini in it. My favorite loaves of zucchini bread my mother made had walnuts in them.
For this low carb recipe, I decided I would give the almond flour a rest and use coconut flour. My fabulous sister-in-law has two children with nut allergies but who can have coconut flour. What I like about
– not too “coco-nutty”. Not only is it less expensive compared to almond flour pound for pound, but it also absorbs a tremendous amount of liquid, so a little goes a long way.
Coconut Flour Zucchini Bread Muffins
Coconut flour recipes are notorious for sticking in baking pans. It’s actually not the coconut flour, but the large number of eggs in the recipes. Think about how our morning eggs like to stick in the pan! The eggs serve three purposes: providing the extra liquid that the coconut flour needs, providing protein or structure to the recipe, and binding everything together.
It’s important to use parchment paper and/or making sure that your baking pans are well lubricated with baking spray, butter or olive oil when making a coconut flour recipe. I recommend NOT using coconut oil to lubricate your pans in this instance because for some reason it doesn’t prevent sticking.

Yes, zucchini is keto as long as you don’t eat too much, too often. There is actually no such food that “is keto” or “isn’t keto”. whether you choose to add a certain food into your weekly meal plan, will be determined by how much and how often you eat that food.

The Best Low Carb Zucchini Bread (keto)
If you have been here for a while you will know I am developing more recipes using coconut flour rather than almond flour.
Why? There are various reasons, but primarily because almond flour has a high ratio of inflammatory omega 6, almond flour is expensive, and many children are either allergic to almonds or they attend a school with a nut-free policy.
