Keto Pasadena Zucchini Bread
Keto Zucchini bread with a twist! Maple flavor paired with sesame seeds and walnuts give this bread some serious style! Inspired by the bread at Green Street Cafe in Pasadena.
Ingredients
dry ingredients
- 2 zucchini shredded and drained
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup allulose
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
wet ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons maple extract
- 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
add at the end
- 2 oz walnuts optional
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Shred the zucchini and place in a colander to drain.
- Combine dry ingredients in one bowl mixing thoroughly to avoid any clumps.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly to distribute the molasses.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients being careful to mix well. The batter will be stiff and mixing thoroughly will ensure the maple flavor and molasses are evenly distributed.
- Before adding the zucchini wring out any remaining moisture.
- Add the walnuts and mix thoroughly to ensure good distribution.
- Pour into a parchment lined loaf pan and top with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes. Check for doneness at 20, a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Remove from pan to cool on a rack to prevent sweating. Once cool, slice and enjoy!
