Directions

Coarsely shred zucchini (you should have about 2 cups shredded zucchini). Place shredded zucchini in a sieve set over a bowl. Sprinkle the salt over zucchini; toss to combine. Let stand 1 hour to drain. Place zucchini between three or four layers of 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth or two or three layers of paper towels; squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper; set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together gluten-free oat flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, whey protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.

In another large bowl whisk together yogurt and shredded zucchini. Add eggs and almond milk; stir until combined.

Add flour mixture to zucchini mixture; stir until well mixed. Stir in walnuts.

Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake 65 to 75 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.

Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Run a thin metal spatula around the sides; turn out onto the wire rack. Cool completely.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
