Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Wrap the completely cooled loaf or individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
Use one flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, set for 5 minutes) as an egg replacement. The texture will be slightly denser but still delicious.
Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the shredded zucchini and avoid overmixing the batter. Also use a good quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum.
