Tips for making Zucchini Coconut Flour Bread:
-
Due to the unique nature of coconut flour, I do not recommend replacing it with any other flour.
-
For a sugar-free option, replace the maple syrup with a sugar-free liquid sweetener such as this one.
-
Alternatively, the maple syrup can be replace with raw honey.
-
Be certain to squeeze the excess liquid from the shredded zucchini for best results.
-
The tapioca adds a great deal to the texture, but can be omitted in a pinch! The tapioca flour can also be replace with arrowroot starch or cassava flour.
-
Due to the unique nature of coconut flour, I do not recommend omitting the eggs or using any egg-alternatives.
-
This bread stores well in a airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or at room temperature for 24 hours.

I cant believe the minimal amount of flours used here.... is this for real?
Kristen Wood says
Yes! Coconut flour is SUPER absorbent. 🙂 1/4 cup coconut flour is equivalent to approx. 1 cup of any other flour. I hope this helps!
