Gluten Free Zucchini Bread has great texture and flavor - perfect way to use up all your zucchini

An easy, delicious quick bread that is gluten free. It’s the perfect way to use up that bounty of zucchini from the garden.

What Do I Do With Zucchini?

Like many of you I have an overabundance of zucchini right now.  What is it with zucchini anyway that makes it so prolific!?

While the girls were home the last two weeks I put Cali to work in the kitchen and she tried out a bunch of new zucchini bread recipes.  We had blueberry zucchini bread, zucchini bread with chocolate chips and then since Cali can’t have wheat she made a gluten free version too.

The result was a lot of loaves of zucchini bread so Cali wrapped them up and then paid a visit to some of our neighbors!

All the varieties were delicious and I was surprised how good the gluten free version was.

Gluten Free Ingredients

Gluten Free Flour. Bob’s Red Mill carries a great line of gluten free products. I like their Cup for Cup Gluten Free Flour but if you have a gluten free flour mix you love, use it. I also have a gluten free flour blend I make myself that we love.

Xanthan Gum. It is used to lock in moisture in the dough, provide structure to the dough and help your loaf hold it’s shape. Bob’s Red Mill also carries this. You can also often find it in the health food section or baking section of the grocery store. If your gluten free flour already has xanthan gum you can leave it out.

Zucchini. I use my zucchini unpeeled and I grate it in my food processor but you can also grate it by hand. I do remove the center seedy area before grating, especially if my zucchini has gotten too big.

How to Make Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Beat eggs, sugar and oil in a bowl. Add in vanilla.
  • In another bowl add together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and xanthan gum (omit if your flour mixture has it in it already).
  • Add dry ingredients into wet and stir by hand to mix well. Add zucchini and stir to combine.
  • Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake in a 350 oven for 60 minutes or so until a toothpick comes out clean.

    I used to LOVE Zucchini bread…that is, before we went full on gluten-free. It’s awesome how practically everything can be adjusted to fit the gluten-free diet necessities. Thank you for the recipe and I’m definitely going to have to try this!!
