Coconut Oil and Paleo Zucchini Applesauce Snack Cake



Coconut Oil Benefits and Paleo Zucchini Applesauce Snack Cake

Without good health, all of the wealth in the world means absolutely nothing… Except to your heirs!

When I first started learning about the Paleo Lifestyle, back in October of 2011, a good friend of mine told me about Coconut Oil Central dot com (I had read about CO, but thought it was more for athletes).

Did you know that consuming about 4 Tablespoons daily does wonders for you?

“Regular consumption of MCFA-rich coconut oil aids the body in eliminating disease-causing germs, thus relieving stress on your immune system.

Coconut oil takes over the job of destroying many of the invading microorganisms. With less work to do, your white blood cells can now focus their attention on cleaning out toxins and all kinds of undesirable cells.
Did you know you can brush your teeth with it, rub it in your scalp, rub it on your feet, do oil pulling with CO, cook with it, eat it straight from the jar… and the list goes on!

It took me a while to try CO in my coffee, but it sure is good! And I didn’t know how creative I actually am… LOL

I would like to see any coffee house do this!




I also discovered a site, which this recipe is adapted and now I really love using this recipe base for Banana Bread, Pumpkin Bread, Carrot-Apple snack cake and now Zucchini Applesauce Snack Cake.

The whole family will enjoy this Paleo Zucchini Applesauce Snack Cake…



Paleo Zucchini Applesauce Snack Cake

1 cup blanched Almond flour (or Almond Meal)
¼ cup Coconut Flour
¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
½ teaspoon Ginger
½ teaspoon Cloves
2 T. Coconut Oil, melted
2 T. Honey or Coconut Palm Sugar (17 vs. 3 grams of carbs per Tablespoon)
2 Eggs
1 Zucchini, grated
½ cup Applesauce

In a large bowl beat eggs and then mix in melted
Coconut Oil and honey OR Coconut Palm Sugar.
Add salt, baking soda and spices, and almond flour or meal, coconut flour and mix until well combined.
Add grated the Zucchini and applesauce and mix in completely.
Spread batter into a petite loaf pan (I like using a glass pie pan).

Bake at 350° for 25-35 minutes (depending on your oven)
Cool and Serve!

Please note: If you use a loaf pan that's bigger than the size recommended above, your loaf of bread will not "rise," it will be wide and short. Adapted from elana’s pantry.

Enjoy as a snack or for breakfast!
