How to Make Sugar-Free Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread

PIN IT

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper—trust me, it makes life easier.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk eggs, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.

Step 4: Bring It Together

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. The batter will be thick—this is exactly right.

Step 5: Fold in the Produce

Gently fold in grated carrot, zucchini, and apple. Make sure excess moisture is squeezed out first for the best texture.

Step 6: Bake

Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 7: Cool

Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Slice once fully cooled (if you can wait!).
