Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup avocado oil see note*
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice or orange juice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrot
- 1/2 cup grated apple about 1/2 an apple
- 1/3 cup raw walnuts chopped
- 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. You can also oil or spray the pan with cooking oil if you don't have parchment paper.
- Add the eggs, pure maple syrup, avocado oil, lemon juice, pure vanilla extract, and orange zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix until the wet ingredients are combined.
- In a separate large bowl, stir together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt until the dry ingredients are combined.
- Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Add in the grated carrots, grated apple, walnuts, and shredded coconut and mix well until everything is well distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is firm in the center. The best way to tell if quick bread is fully baked is by taking its internal temperature. To do so, insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bread and wait until the numbers stop moving. The ideal temperature is 190 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before slicing. When you're ready to slice the bread, pull the loaf out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Or, if you sprayed the pan with oil, run a paring knife along the edge of the bread and turn it out onto a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut thick slices and enjoy!
Notes
*You can also use algae oil, grapeseed oil, almond oil, olive oil, melted coconut oil etc.
Alternative Blender Method:
Add everything except for the last four ingredients to a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in the remaining ingredients until the batter is well-combined.
Follow the regular instructions above as normal once the batter is formed.
