Ingredients
Gather these items
For this recipe, you will need:
- Almond flour, superfine: 1/2 cup (70 g or 2.5 oz)
- Coconut flour: 2 tablespoons (15 g or 0.53 oz)
- Olive oil: 1/4 cup (45 g or 1.6 oz)
- Zucchini, shredded and drained: 1 medium zucchini (approximately 1.5 cups or 210 g, 7.4 oz)
- Baking powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Baking soda: 1/4 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Powdered garlic: 1/4 teaspoon
- Eggs: 3
- Gouda cheese: 4 slices (40 g or 1.4 oz)
Directions
Cooking method
- Grate the zucchini and set it aside to release its water.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, olive oil, baking powder, salt, and powdered garlic until well combined.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini to remove excess water and add it to the mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated. If the batter seems too runny, add a little more almond flour to thicken it up.
- Pour half of the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, then place slices of Gouda cheese on top. Pour the remaining batter over the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your oven, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
