Ingredients
For the Zucchini Bread Layers
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup granular erythritol
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded zucchini lightly dried with paper towels
For the Cream Cheese Frosting Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioner erythritol
Instructions
For the Zucchini Bread Layers
- Heat your oven to 350°F and with parchment paper, line two baking sheets.
- Mix together the cinnamon, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour in a medium bowl.
- Mix together the coconut oil, eggs, and erythritol in a large bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini.
- Into the wet ingredients, pour the dry ingredient, and mix until it gets combined.
- Take roughly (we like to use an ice cream scoop)ONE tablespoon of batter and on the lined baking sheet, form 2-inch circles spaced 2 inches apart.
- To smooth the edges, use your finger so that they are smooth and have a nice circular shape.
- Until the tops start to turn golden brown, bake for about TEN minutes.
- Before removing it from the baking sheet, allow cooling.
For Cream Cheese Frosting Filling
- With an electric mixer, beat all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
- To a piping bag or Ziploc sandwich bag, transfer the frosting (snip off about 1” from the bottom corner of the bag, if using a Ziploc bag).
- On the bottom zucchini pie layer, pipe about TWO tablespoons of frosting.
- On top, add another zucchini pie layer so that the frosting spreads almost to the edge of the cake layers, gently press down.
