"I had so much zucchini from my garden this year! I recently decided to go gluten-free, so I experimented with several different flours, and came up with what I think is the best zucchini bread I have ever made."
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2Mix buckwheat flour, teff flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and lemon zest in a bowl. Beat eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well blended. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, beating on low speed until batter is just blended. Gently fold zucchini, raisins, and almonds into batter until evenly distributed; pour into prepared loaf pan.
3Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Cook's Note:
The raisins and almonds are optional, but the raisins to add extra sweetness and the almonds add a crunch that I find appealing. The lemon zest is also not necessary, but I love the aroma and the flavor they add.
