1 cup zucchini, grated

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup Almond flour

3/4 cup coconut palm sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Tip: After you grate your zucchini put it in a paper towel or a clean cloth and lightly wring out the extra water.

2) In a large bowl or in a stand mixer add all the wet ingredients, mix well. In a separate bowl mix, all the dry ingredients then add them to the wet. Once mixed, add one of the add-ins: dairy-free chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, or dates.

3) Grease or line a loaf pan.

4) Bake the zucchini loaf for 40-45 minutes.

Store in a covered container at room temperature or you can freeze.
