Best Paleo Zucchini Bread (gluten-free, dairy-free)
This gluten-free, dairy-free Paleo Zucchini Bread combines almond, tapioca, and coconut flours with grated zucchini, eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. The batter bakes into a moist, tender loaf with subtle sweetness and warming cinnamon flavor. Squeezing excess moisture from the zucchini helps maintain bread structure, resulting in a flavorful bread suitable for those following a paleo or grain-free diet.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl add the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar and whisk together. Squeeze the grated zucchini in a nut milk bag or kitchen towel to remove the excess water. Then add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

- Bake the zucchini bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Use a nut milk bag or a clean kitchen towel to thoroughly squeeze excess water from grated zucchini to maintain the proper moisture balance in the batter.
