Pineapple, Zucchini, Date Bread

ZUCCHINI PINEš DATE BREAD | If you know me, you know Iām not one to tell a lie. Heck when I break the rules and leave my car (hazardsš) illegally parked outside my go-to Thai spot (3.5 minutes) a cop car is surely pulled up behind me by the time I dash out. So when I say that this is the best bread I have ever had itās a BIG DEAL. Now there is some added sugar in this recipe but Iām working on a future version that just uses dates. This recipe makes 3 loaves so thereās only ¼ cup per loaf which is pretty darn good... Especially if you have self control (myself excluded āŗļø) with magical baked goods and somehow stop after 1 or 2 slices.
āØ
Preheat to 350 (325 if convection)
āØ
Mix these dry ingredients together:
1 cup almond flour
1 cup coconut flour
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
3/4 cup sugar
āØ
Make your date paste:
10 pitted dates
3/4 cup water
In small pot on top of stove, bring dates/water to boil and mash dates into a paste.
āØ
Mix wet ingredients:
3 cups grated zucchini (remove seeds before grating if zucchini are large)
1.5 cups crushed pineapple (drained of fluid. You can use canned pineapple in natural juice)
5 eggs
1/2 cup coconut oil
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
Date paste
āØ
Combine dry + wet ingredients.
Mix at medium speed.
Add more almond milk as needed to make thick batter.
āØ
Use coconut oil spray to grease 3 loaf pans (8 x 4 inches).
āØ
Pour batter evenly into the 3 pans.
āØ
Bake for 40-50 minutes until cake tester comes out clean. Let pans cool on rack for 10-15 minutes. Turn pans over and tap bottom of pans to release bread. Turn bread over to cool completely on cooling rack. Enjoy!!!
