Recipe: DAIRY-FREE ZUCCHINI RAISIN BREAD

RECIPE

“The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy, too. You will be like a well-watered garden like an ever-flowing spring” (Isaiah 58:11, NLT)

Ahh friends…this just came out of my oven…oh, how delicious! Please try making your own home-made bread for your health and the health of your family!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 rounded cups fresh, grated zucchini  

• 1 cup whole wheat flour

• 1/2 cup raisins                  

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 1/2 cup oats flour

• 2 teaspoons grounded flax seed powder

• 2 teaspoons arrow root flour

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 2 teaspoons coriander

• ½ cup raw honey

• 1/8 cup cold-pressed virgin coconut oil

• 1/4 cup coconut milk

• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon or orange juice

• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla

• 1/4 cup hot water

• 1 tablespoon black strap molasses

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper. Oil it lightly.
  2. Mix ground flax seed (preferably fresh ground) with hot water and let stand for 4-5 minutes to thicken. This becomes your egg replacement and gives you a nice, rich, moist bread.
  3. In a large mixing bowl or a food processor, whisk together the flours, grounded flax seed, salt, and coriander.
  4. Add remaining ingredients – except zucchini and beat to combine. Continue to beat on medium high until the batter is smooth, about two minutes.
  5. Add in shredded zucchini until combined. Place in the prepared loaf pan and even out the top.
  6. Bake in the centre of oven for 55-60 minutes, until the top is golden and firm. Test with a toothpick or a bread knife, which should come out without batter or crumbs.
