The BEST Paleo Zucchini Bread

It’s always funny to me how someone years and years ago decided to put vegetables into cake.  I mean, who was all we should grate carrots or zucchini and put them into dessert?  They were clearly both fearless and genius.

It’s hard to imagine the world of desserts without carrot cake or zucchini bread, two of the tastiest, most classic treats that never fail to please a crowd.

I have made more than my fair share of zucchini recipes here on the blog because it is one of those fun ingredients that is super versatile.  It can be used in sweet and savory recipes and can sometimes barely be detected in a recipe.

Paleo Coconut Flour Zucchini Bread is not just the best paleo zucchini bread, it’s some of the best zucchini bread I have had.  The interior is moist but not wet, making it sturdy enough to be slathered with nut butter.  The crust is firm and the perfect foil to the interior.

The recipe below is doubled because the more zucchini bread I have stashed in the freezer, the better.  But feel free to halve it if you wish.

I have another equally as good but completely different zucchini recipe I will be sharing with you next week.  Stock up on the last of the season zucchini and get ready to bake!

    I like veggies in breads and cakes! Although you’re right — it was genius on someone’s part to come up with the concept. Anyway, this looks awesome — thanks.

I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
