5 Things You Should Know About THis Bread before you make it

1. It’s totally delicious.

2. It’s incredibly easy to make.

3. It will leave you wanting more.

… And that’s not all! This recipe is jam packed with protein! And not only that, but this bread is made with whole foods. This bread is lightly sweetened with a bit of maple syrup. Since I am loving munching on this bread for breakfast, I thought I should share. Lately, I have been in a mood where I only want to eat foods that are easy to make. Since this bread only takes 5 minutes to whip up and then it’s in the oven, it’s been my fave this week. The idea of making bread in only five minutes sounded very appealing. I have been on a zucchini craze lately, so this recipe hit the spot.

A Bread That Brings me back to my childhood

Okay, this may sound funny, but I’m going with it. I felt like a kid, because I was way too excited about the crust on this bread! It’s slightly sticky, kinda, gooey, and is just sweet enough to make me totally happy! It’s just one of those things. I remember being a kid and loving bread with that kind of sweet glaze feel on top.

I finally got back in the kitchen this week. After a week of 100 degree weather, it’s finally tarting to cool off. The hot weather and no A.C. is not a good combo when cooking. I opted for lots of fresh salads and sweet potato chips this week and tried to stay cool. It seems like I hadn’t cooked in forever, so it was awesome being back in the kitchen!

The idea that this bread is full of nutrients and protein makes it hit in my book. This bread is completely light, fluffy, and incredibly moist! Can you tell I’m happy? Ha ha. Anyway, this bread is great, because it’s not crumbly at all! Some gluten free breads can really fall apart on you. I’m always on the quest to make breads that don’t crumble and don’t taste too “healthy”. If you know what I mean. I have to have some flavor!

Liking the idea of grain free bread?

    Hi. Tried this and it was so soft and moist unlike all my other attempts at gluten free baking, I cooked it for about 55 mins in a fan oven and it rose, and a skewer inserted came out clean, it was browner than your photos so covered with a bit of foil. However it did sink when it was cooling. Texture still light and almost fluffy, but is this normal? Should I have left it in longer? As you can tell I’m a very novice baker. Found you thru Instagram by the way

    Thanks Kaylie. Wonder if it’s possible for baking powder to use its efficacy over time? Mine might be a bit past it! Otherwise included everything and it was really nice. I’ll just have to bake it again!

    to Helen Grace, If your bread collapsed, it probably needed a little longer in the oven. Test your bread loaf before you take it out to see if it’s truly firm. If it feels squishy it means it ‘s not fully cooked. Test it with a toothpick, and if the pick comes out clean and not moist or sticky, your bread is done. If your bread is getting too brown toward the end, just cover it lightly with aluminum foil, as it can still be soft inside. And yes any ingredient can get old. I use Rumford baking powder as it works very well and doesn’t leave a slightly bitter after taste.

    Loved this bread added some orange rinds for flavor and my kiddo who came back from biking just attacked the warm loaf. This is now an awesome breakfast option for the kids and it satisfies my sweet craving.

    Hi Kaylie,
    If I could substitute the coconut oil for palm shortening would it need to be melted or stay solid? Thank you! Looks delish and would probably make yummy french toast! 🙂

    I made this bread and added 20 grams of protein powder – one scoop – turned out delicious! Then I made it again and swapped the maple syrup for raw organic honey and added 1/2 cup of walnuts, as well as the protein powder / delicious once again, so thank you! Are the Nutrition Facts listed for the whole loaf? Thank you!

    Kaylie, this bread is Wonderful!!! Delish toasted with butter! I leave out the salt and have given it to gluten-free friends as well as family who eat grains, and it is always a hit!
    It stores great in the fridge for several days, too! Thank you for the gift of bread!!!

    Looking for nutritional info, specifically the number of carbs. I am diabetic, and am always looking for bread that will fit into my very carb restricted diet. Thanks.

    Hi! Thanks for the recipe. I subbed honey for the maple syrup and baked it at 350 for 55 minutes. The top and inside were perfect but the outside of the edges was almost burnt. Any advice for when I try it next time?

    Hi Kaylie- looks like a delicious recipe. Can I put it in a long loaf pan? Like a 9 by 5? Or do I need to increase the amount of recipe. Thanks!

        I actually put it in a regular loaf pan (because I didn’t read the directions very carefully!) and mine still turned out very tasty. Of course, my loaf was only about an inch tall, but it still tasted great and I didn’t adjust the baking time at all. I probably could have taken it out a little earlier but it’s not at all burnt!

    I have made this bread x 2 and both times IT WAS PERFECT! The bread is unusually moist, and has a great texture. I have tried many, many g/f recipes and this is among the best. I used low-sugar maple syrup and it was delicious! Next time, I will throw in some nuts and orange zest.

    Do I need to drain the zucchinis? Let them loose all the water? Or just grate and use them?
    I baked your banana bread and was just great!!

    Thanks for this recipe! It’s so much easier than the other zucchini bread recipe I’ve tried. I didn’t have a pan that size, so I made this recipe into 10 regular sized muffins and baked for a little under 30 minutes. And I added some unsweet baking chocolate. Delicious!

    hey, can i sub the maple syrup with powdered erythritol/stevia or does it have to be a liquid sweetener? I’m on a keto diet so I can’t have any natural sweeteners. Also, does this bread taste eggy? really not a fan of eggy tasting bread.. Thanks 🙂

      Kaylie

      Hi Pika, no- I don’t think those would be a good sub, sorry. You could try it, but I don’t know. I haven’t had anyone report it tasting eggy. 🙂

    In place of maple syrup I used stevia and apple butter. I made them into muffins, good! And only 1 cup of almond flour, and I added shredded carrots!

      Hi Diana, you can absolutely make this into muffins! I’m not sure on the cooking time- I would just watch it. They will be done when a knife inserted into the middles comes out clean. 🙂

    Being a man I can’t wax too lyrical about how good this is.Suffice to say it was scrumpdiddlydumptious.
    Used honey in lieu of Syrup and also had no coconut oil so used regular olive oil.

    This recipe and all comments suggested it should be a good one. Unfortunately, I have an allergy to almonds and when I eat almond flour I get rushes and my back is itchy like crazy so I made it with swapping almond flour to GF whole grain flour (Sun Flour Mills) and added 3/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum. It turned out yummy! Uff… for entire 70 minutes I was nervous it would be another unlucky experiment but this zucchini bread is a winner. Thank you, Kaylie! So yummy, so tasty!

    This looks like a terrific recipe. Can’t wait to try it. Just wanted to add a bit of, I hope, constructive criticism about the webpage. I’ve noticed this on other pages on this site as well. The pages are overridden with ads and pop-ups. In fact, I couldn’t even get to the directions on the first try, but had to click on a “details” button? Then, I kept scrolling through the page, expecting to see ingredients and directions after each set of photos (which were slow to load, even on a 1 gig connection) … until I almost reached the bottom of the page. It’s unfortunate, as this really takes away from what should be a fun, simple user experience. I wasn’t even looking at the ads. They just irritated me.

    Sorry, if this seems petty/whiny. I’m only commenting because I otherwise enjoy browsing through recipes looking for something tasty & simple to prepare. Thanks again. Hope the feedback is helpful. Look forward to trying the recipe!

    Hi! As I’m writing this my zucchini break is baking, finger cross that it’ll come out right 🙈 I’m no expert in the kitchen but I’m trying! Question, was the batter supposed to be very liquidity? I hope so cause mine was and I follow every step on your recipe. Will keep you posted 🙂

    Sorry it took me forever but let me just tell you that zucchini bread was delicious 😋 I’ve made it 3 times so far 😁 can we substitute zucchini for sweet potatoes? I’m not sure if you have a recipe for it….. I’ll look 😁

    Hi! I love this recipe and have made it multiple times, I can’t get enough of it. It’s beautifully moist and just perfect for someone on a paleo diet! And for a vegan version, I substituted with flax eggs, added some more maple syrup for moisture and it worked! A little too sweet though so next time I’ll try adding more zucchini instead. I love this for breakfast as well as for dessert. Thank you so much for this recipe! I wonder if I can freeze it though? Has anyone tried that?

      Kaylie

      Hi Nora,
      I’m glad you love this recipe so much! Yes you can freeze it. Just heat it up in the oven or let it thaw on its own. Great way to meal prep and save any left overs 🙂
