Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

This gluten free zucchini bread is a delicious, easy snack to make. It tastes just like regular zucchini bread. Nobody will miss the gluten!

We get lots of zucchini in our farm share every summer. This classic zucchini bread is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it. The great texture and cinnamon flavor are such a treat.

Breads like banana bread, pumpkin bread, and zucchini bread do especially well with gluten free flour. Their higher moisture content is the dominant texture, rather than the soft crumb you find in a drier bread. Nobody complains about the texture when I serve this bread to a gluten-eating crowd.

Gluten Free Zucchini Bread Tips

Any standard gluten free flour mix should work in this recipe. I like the King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour and Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour. If you’d prefer to make this bread with regular flour, it comes out well with half whole wheat and half all purpose flour (one cup of each).

The zucchini can be grated by hand or in a food processor. I like to use a large grater attachment to grate it into larger pieces, but you can use a fine grater if you’d prefer.

For a vegan version of this gluten free zucchini bread, you can eliminate the eggs. Instead, add ¼ cup of applesauce and one flax egg.

You can store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or else freeze the extras to enjoy later.

For a chocolate dessert using zucchini, try my chocolate zucchini cake. It’s another fun way to eat your veggies.
