Zucchini Bread- GF, Grain Free, DF, Egg Free Option, Nut Free
I love zucchini bread in the summer. It satisfies my sweet tooth while also providing me with nutrient density and some good fiber!
Why Nut Free?
Nuts and seeds contain phytic acid which is an amino acid (protein) that can be difficult to digest and can contribute to leaky gut, food intolerances, and skin issues. We can “pre-digest” phytic acid by soaking and dehydrating nuts and seeds to help break down the proteins. But, many people can still have a difficult time digesting nuts. I enjoy finding recipes that use coconut flour and vegetables. This one is a winner!
