Low Carb Cheesy Zucchini Bread


2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon powdered seasoning mix of your choice*
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
2 and 1/2 cups shredded cheese of your choice**
1/4 cup melted butter
1 zucchini, shredded

*I use a pre-made mix of my own, that has onion powder, garlic powder, ground sage, and ground rosemary, with a dash of black pepper.

**I use provolone cheese.

Mix together all ingredients except cheese, butter & zucchini until batter is thick and smooth. Place shredded cheese on top of mixture. Drizzle with melted butter. Stir until smooth. Add shredded zucchini and stir until completely incorporated.

Place in a buttered silicone loaf pan and bake at 350 F (175 C) for 30 to 35 minutes.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a plate or cutting board. Cool completely. Slice and serve. If you slice into 12 pieces, each piece will have approximately 4 carbs.
