Louise says
This recipe looks awesome and I can't wait to try it.
Question: How many cups of thawed and squeezed zucchini should I use for the zucchini?
Thanks for your hard work.
Blessings, Louise
Ester Perez says
Hi Louise,
Sorry for the late reply, I used 2 medium sized zucchinis. I do not have an exact measurement on the card for this. I could estimate it is about 3/4-1 cup
Carol says
I have used up to 2 cups of pressed zucchini and had incredible results. As long as you get the excess juices from the zucchini squeezed out you're good to go.
Ester Perez says
Thanks for sharing your tips!
Val says
Can you make this with frozen zucchini? Would you just need to press out the moisture?
Ester Perez says
Yes, that would work.
Warmly,
Ester

This recipe has become a family and friends favorite! This week I had 8 large, I'm talking huge, zucchini brought to me by both friends and family asking for a loaf again this year. Just got off the phone with my dad asking if I would make him some with a zucchini the neighbors brought himm yesterday.
Ester Perez says
Hi Carol,
I am so glad to hear this recipe has become a family favorite! It's great that you have tons of zucchini on hand to make more! Thank you so much for rating and it is wonderful to hear about your success! 🙂
Xoxo,
Ester

Just made this tonight and it tastes great! Not too sweet but also sweet enough to curb my sugar cravings! I subbed regular sugar for the coconut sugar and canola oil for the avocado oil as my main concern was just the gluten and dairy 🙂 thanks for the recipe! I will be making this again!
Ester Perez says
So glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂 Warmly, Ester
