As a seasoned gluten-free baker, I know some finesse is needed to create gluten-free recipes that are just as soft and moist as recipes made with wheat flour. That’s why I developed this almond flour zucchini bread. It’s perfectly soft and moist, and easy to make at home following a few simple steps. The secret? Use finely ground blanched almond flour. Let me explain why.
