Recipe Ingredients

• Almond flour, Tapioca flour, Coconut flour- These combinations of flours work so well together. I do not suggest substituting them out because different flours work differently together. 
• Baking soda & apple cider vinegar- Work together to make the bread rise. 
• Cinnamon & salt– Enhances all the flavors. If you are not a cinnamon person, you can skip it!
• Eggs– Binds all the ingredients together. 
• Applesauce– The key to a moist bread. Baking with applesauce also adds fiber and reduces calories. 
• Maple syrup- One of my favorite sweeteners. Make sure to use a pure maple syrup. Many brands have all kinds of additives. I always recommend Costco’s Kirkland brand. 
• Zucchini- Adds wonderful texture and moistness to a bread! Zucchini helps bulk up the bread, with an added boost of nutrition. Make sure as you shred your zucchini you squeeze out any extra water to prevent your bread from becoming overly moist. You can squeeze out any extra water with a paper towel.
