Do you have other recipes where you use zucchini flour?
Not yet! This is new to me too! I love the flavor and the texture so I definitely plan on making more recipes.
Is zucchini flour a one to one ratio replacement for other keto flours?
Yes, it is a one to one ratio replacement if you are using coconut flour. I have found that both zucchini flour and coconut flour do require a bit of liquid to flour ratio so that your recipe does not come out dry or dense.
It is not a one to one ratio for almond flour though. Almond flour does not hold the liquids like the zucchini does. You would only need to use 1/3 the amount of zucchini flour to almond flour.

This is an awesome recipe! I use it for bread as well as waffles. Both freeze well and reheat well. I use the waffles for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I also use this recipe for flat bread.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I used crookneck squash flour. It was slightly sweet and so yummy! I want to make a whole loaf!
This recipe is amazing! I made a bunch of squash flour last year and this is the best recipe I’ve found so far to use it. Tastes like you’re eating bread and can be used as keto buns. I do add a tiny bit of salt
