I am thinking you might really like this Healthy (Paleo) Zucchini Bread.  Zucchini is anti-inflammatory.   In 2016 my shoulder was severely injured in a car accident.  I was caregiving at the time and so could not take off the time to recuperate after surgery.  So, I endured shoulder pain for over 4 years.   This was one of the reasons why I investigated and took on the Paleo lifestyle, to reduce and even eliminate the pain associated with the inflammation.

After removing grain and refined sugar from my body and undertaking the right rehabilitation the pain began to lessen and actually disappeared.  Now if I indulge in eating real ice cream or some sweet dessert (with refined sugar), my body starts to ache with pain, not only in my shoulder but everywhere.

I’ve now moved to a Keto Low-Carb lifestyle. This bread is not Keto compliant. It is Paleo compliant and fabulous if you are still incorporating fruit like pineapple in your lifestyle.

Back to zucchini…

HOW TO YOU PREPARE HEALTHY (PALEO) ZUCCHINI BREAD?

 

Preheat oven to 350 F (170 c).  In a food mixer or processor add all dry ingredients, egg, and apple sauce.  Mix until well blended.

Remove the bowl from the mixer.  Fold in to mix the zucchini, pineapple cubes, and walnuts.  Transfer mix to a 4 cup (4″ X 8″) loaf pan sprayed with avocado non-stick cooking spray.  Bake loaf for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.  Cover with tinfoil and bake another 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the center of the loaf is done.  (Pineapple and apple sauce make the dough wet.) Remove from the oven.  Let the loaf cool.  When cooled, loosen sides and flip over onto a plate.  Serve at room temperature or toast in a toaster or Panini press.
