Zucchini Bread Recipe with updated Organic Ingredients:
- 3 Organic Eggs
- 2 Cups Organic Cane Sugar
- 1 Cup Avocado Oil (this is my all-time favorite!! Lots of Monounsaturated “Good” fats!! )
- 2 Cups Grated Organic Zucchini*
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- 3 Cups Einkorn Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon (Optional)
- 1 Cup Chopped Organic Nuts (Optional)
- Organic Raisins! {add about 1/2 cup Raisins if you would like}
First of all, beat eggs until fluffy. Add sugar, oil, zucchini and vanilla. Mix well. Next, combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Add the flour mixture to the creamed zucchini. Stir in nuts and raisins if so desired. Mix until combine but do not beat. Pour into 2 well oiled bread pans.
*Please Note: if using frozen zucchini, you must first thaw the package in the sink as it will drain some. As the result of being frozen, the zucchini will be somewhat watery.
Drain off most of this moisture but not all. You do not need to squeeze all the moisture out as your bread will be too dry.

Baking Instructions
Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.
Check to make sure the zucchini bread has fully baked by sticking a knife in the center. If the knife comes out clean, it is finished.
If there is still a little batter on the knife, then return the bread to the over for 5 to 10 more minutes.
When the bread has fully baked, remove the pans from the oven, leaving the bread in their pans turn the loaves on their sides on a cutting board to cool.
Cool on one side for 10 minutes and then on the other side for 10 minutes.
After cooling for the 20 minutes, run a knife around the edges of the pans to make sure each loaf is loosen prior to removing from the pans.
How to Storage
While each loaf is still warm, place in plastic bags or glass containers. As a result of wrapping each loaf with still warm, they keep their moist quality that makes this Rustic Zucchini Bread so delicious.

I intended to follow this recipe exactly; but life tends to get in the way…
I forgot I had given my avo oil to my daughter several weeks ago, then realized I didn’t have any other oil in the house. I had one stick of kerrygold butter and 2 packets of organic GOGO Squeeze cinnamon applesauce so i subbed those in. Oh my gosh! I’ve never liked zuch bread before, but I’m in love now! Thank you for a base recipe I will use forever.
You must be a very experienced baker!!! Sounds like you did a wonderful job with your substitutions. I am happy you like this recipe and that your zucchini bread turned out so well. Thanks for writing!
