Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews
1 ½ cups almond flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons avocado oil see notes
2 tablespoons dairy free milk at room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups grated zucchini lightly packed, see notes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a 9x5" or 8x4" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a food processor, pulse the raw cashews multiple times until they turn into a coarse flour. This will take about 1 minute total. Add in almond flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Pulse again until combined.
Pulse in the wet ingredients: maple syrup, oil, milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and eggs. Combine until smooth throughout, about 15 seconds but do not over-process.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and gently stir in the shredded zucchini. Transfer batter to the parchment-lined loaf pan. Tap hard on the counter a few times to release all of the air bubbles.
Bake for 38-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let sit and cool off for about 10-15 minutes before very carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve right away.

Notes

Maple syrup: Honey is a fine substitute.
Avocado oil: Coconut oil will work as well. I love using avocado oil in this recipe since it's neutral-tasting.
Zucchini: Grate the zucchini on either setting (small or large.) Do not drain or squeeze out any of its water, as this will help keep the bread moist.
