This mix does well as muffins, in a 9 x 13 or loaf pan.
First, put a block of grassfed butter and a half cup local honey in a mixer and beat until frothy, about 20 minutes.
Add one tablespoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 teaspoon almond extract and two cups grated zucchini, packed tight.
Add 4 eggs and 4 cups of almond flour, alternating one egg, mix thoroughly, one cup flour, mix thoroughly, one egg, mix thoroughly, one cup flour, etc, until blended thoroughly. Add a cup of chopped walnuts, if desired.
Pour into muffin liners, a buttered 9 x 13 or buttered loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until cooked thoroughly so the top has browned, cracked and doesn’t jiggle.

Can you make this with any other flour? My husband is allergic to nuts
Whatever flour substitute you normally use is fine.
Can I make this even though I don’t have a stand mixer? I’ve got a bunch of zucchini!
Yes!
I’m sure you can…I use substitutes all the time. Use coconut flour or tapioca flour, etc.. Experiment…it’ll always be edible!
For those on GAPS, tapioca flour isn’t GAPS approved due to the high starch content.
Ummmm this is by far the best and most delicious zucchini bread EVER!!!!! I highly recommend it. Thank you SO MUCH for the recipe!
So glad you like it!
