Ingredients
- 1 cup eggplant grated (~4 small eggplant, as pictured)
- 2 cups zucchini grated (~1 medium zucchini)
- 3 cups 405 grams gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice or ground nutmeg
- 1 cup coconut oil -- room temperature or other neutral cooking oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or pure vanilla extract if avoiding nuts
- 4 eggs or aquafaba -- I used VOR Foods 1 1/3 tsp. powder + 12 Tbs. water whisked
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F or 325F (convection).
- Wash eggplant and zucchini, then cut the ends off of each. Grate in a food processor using the fine blade. Measure out grated amounts, then transfer to a colander and press gently to squeeze out excess moisture. Place on a clean towel and press again to dry further.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat oil and sugar until lighter, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add extract and eggs or aquafaba, mixing well. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients until incorporated, then fold in grated eggplant and zucchini. Add nuts, if using.
- Spoon thick batter into loaf pans lined with parchment or oiled well. Batter is sufficient for two 9x4 or 9x5 loaf pans or 6 mini loaf pans.
- Bake small pans for 20-25 minutes, larger pans for 40-45 minutes, testing with a toothpick before removing from the oven. A toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf should come out with dry crumbs or clean, but not wet.
- Remove to cool on wire racks. Store in sealed containers at room temperature when fully cooled.
