I made this coconut flour zucchini bread last week but used liquid stevia with coconut milk instead of maple syrup. 1/2 cup maple syrup is a lot of liquid which 1 tsp or so of stevia doesn’t come close to, so I just added plain unsweetened coconut milk until I reached the right volume.  I was hesitant to make too many changes with the recipe but I am curious about decreasing the eggs in some of these paleo-esque recipes and using chia or flax seeds for at least some portion of the eggs.  I’ll let you… Read more >
