PALEO & VEGAN ZUCCHINI COCONUT BREAD

Smashed Avo is something us Aussies do best, sorry it really is true. 
So being a gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free fitness freak with eyes on a bangin' bikini bod this is something I miss out on until TODAY. 

ZUCCHINI COCONUT BREAD! 
Inspired by @wheretogowhattoeat, I tweaked it to suit my allergies and yahhhhs!
I did it.
It actually has the texture of REAL bread.
It's vegan, paleo, low fat, lowcarb and completely guilt free. 

RECIPE: 

1 med zucchini grated (once grated put in fabric and drain out any moisture) 1/2 cup blended flax seeds  
1/4 cup blended chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut flour 
1/4 cup chick pea flour (use coconut flour for paleo version) 
3 tbs coconut oil 
1/4 tsp black cracked pepper
1/4 tsp Himalayan salt 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/2 cup almond milk

HOW:

Pre-heat oven to 400deg F.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until a dough like consistency is formed. 
Place in a bread tin, sprayed lightly with coconut oil and cook for 35-45mins. 
If you don't have a bread tin, why not make rolls? Roll dough into palm size balls and cook on a baking tray for 20mins (cook time will vary on size so check frequently after 15mins.) 

Top with smashed avocado, freshly chopped radishes and hemp seeds. Ahhhhhh hell yessss!
