- 2 cups Zucchini shredded (about 1 small)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Rind grated

- 2 Gelatin Eggs 2 tablespoons gelatin, 1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment
paper then set aside.
In the large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, lemon rind,
coconut oil, and honey then stir to combine. Next add the cassava flour,
arrowroot starch, coconut flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, salt, vanilla
powder, cinnamon and cloves then to combine using a hand mixture to combine.
Add in the coconut milk if the dough is crumbly. It should look like a thick
paste. Add a tablespoon at a time to prevent making the dough too wet.
Next make the gelatin eggs by adding 1/4 cup water to a
small saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and whisk
constantly until completely dissolved. Add the gelatin eggs into the batter and
stir for about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Place in oven then bake
for 45 minutes then cover with parchment or foil and bake for another 15
minutes. Remove and allow to cool (at least 20 minutes) completely.
- Gluten free flours are not all made the same. If you can’t have one of the flours in this recipe, please be aware that you probably won’t be able to make a 1:1 swap without reworking the entire recipe.
- Don’t skip the step where you cover the bread for the last 15 minutes of baking. If you do, the top will burn.
