Zucchini Tips: For the most successful results, use weight (1 pound/454 g) to measure the zucchini. Coconut Flour: Unfortunately, there are no substitutions for the coconut flour in this recipe. It is a unique ingredient and serves a specific role in this bread. Oat Flour: You can use an equal weight amount of oat flour in place of the whole oats. 200 grams of oat flour is about 1 and 2/3 cups.
