Ingredients

Notes
- This bread can also be made with Paleo baking flour. Use the same amount.
- Be sure to squeeze out all the excess moisture from the zucchini. Use paper towels or a cheesecloth to do this.
- Coconut sugar is my favorite healthier sugar alternative. If needed, substitute with lightly packed brown sugar.
- Melted coconut oil can be replaced by melted butter if needed.
- All ovens are different. Your bread might need slightly more or less time.
- Allow the bread to fully cool before slicing and serving.
