Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Frontier Co-op® Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Frontier Co-op® Ceylon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Ground Cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 6 tablespoons chickpea juice
- 1 cup finely shredded zucchini
- 1 cup finely shredded carrot
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Vanilla Extract
- 3 1/2 tablespoons milk or cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line with parchment paper a 8.5-inch wide x 2.75-inch deep loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine brown rice flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Stir until well combined.
- In another large bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup and chickpea juice until well combined. Whisk dry ingredients into wet, 1/3 at a time until no dry streaks remain.
- In a colander, combine shredded zucchini and carrot. Use a paper towel to fully squeeze all the liquid out, then whisk carrot and zucchini into batter.
- Spread into loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. You may need to bake a little longer depending on the moisture in the vegetables. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and let finish cooling on a wire rack.
- When bread is completely cool, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk or cream and a pinch of salt until the mixture is completely smooth. If needed, add a little more liquid in increments of a teaspoon until you reach the desired consistency.
- Spread glaze on cooled bread and enjoy!
