The flavor in this was fantastic, but the bread was very crumbly. I think I’d add an extra egg yolk or xanthan gum next time I make this.

Can I substitute more almond flour or other flour for the coconut flour?

I just made this zucchini bread but it was way too moist. I squeezed as much of the liquid out of the zucchini that I could but it stuck to the bundt pan (which was sprayed with cooking spray). I let it bake for an additional 10 min but with no luck.
It tasted great though. : [

Just made your zucchini bread in an 8x8 glass pan. So delicious!! For people who haven’t worked w zucchini much, I would stress not only letting it drain a while? But then take about 3 paper towels and squeeze it and much more liquid will extract. Lovely tasting bread! Good job!
