This bread is just beyond incredible, it cures any cake or bread craving you might have, and I promise you that everyone in the family will love it. Is it low cal? Not really, but it’s high in protein and the health benefits far outweigh any bread you’ll find in a store. it’s flour-free, egg-free, refined sugar free (f you use Pure Maple Syrup) and contains heart healthy oats (fiber, protein and so much more), flax, chia and zucchini.

Vinegar, baking soda and baking powder act as the main leaveners in place of eggs. You can use coconut sugar in this recipe which is pretty on par with pure maple syrup but I usually use Pure Maple Syrup. While maple syrup is often lumped in with sweeteners like sugar and honey — and it's true that they provide similar calories and carbohydrates per serving — pure maple syrup delivers a slew of healthy nutrients, in addition to natural sugars.

That's because pure maple syrup is different. In fact, most syrups you put on pancakes or waffles barely contain maple syrup at all. Rather, they're made with artificial maple flavoring, along with more refined ingredients like corn syrup and sugar. Pure maple syrup is a natural sweetener harvested directly from maple trees. The tree is tapped, and sap is collected, then boiled down to get that golden delicious sticky goodness.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Rolled Oats

  • 1 1/2 cups grated Zucchini

  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds

  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

  • 1 tsp Baking Powder

  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1/3 cup melted Coconut Oil

  • 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup

  • 1 tsp Vanilla

  • 4 1/2 tsp ground flaxseed mixed with 1 1/2 tsp water

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees

  2. Place oats in high speed blender and blend until smooth like flour.

  3. Place all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together.

  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix. I like to place everything into my Vitamix and blend a little but it’s not necessary.

  5. Grate zucchini, then fold into mixture.

  6. Place mixture in a parchment lined bread pan and place into the oven. Bake for 50-65 minutes or until you get a clean toothpick.

  7. I like to sprinkle a little sea salt on top and enjoy.

Zucchini Tip: One medium zucchini makes about one heaping cup of grated zucchini.
