Equipment

  • Box grater or food processor
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cup
  • Large bowl
  • Loaf pan (lined with parchment paper)
  • Wire rack
  • Cooking spray

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini excess moisture squeezed out
  • 2 flax eggs 2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 6 tbsp water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil canola oil or melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup almond milk room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • Prepare the flax eggs by mixing 2 tbsp of flaxseed meal with 6 tbsp of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Shred the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the zucchini shreds in a large bowl and use paper towels to squeeze out the excess water.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, coconut sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon.
  • In another bowl, combine the flax eggs, vegetable oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir in the shredded zucchini until well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
  • Pour the zucchini bread batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. If you're adding chocolate chips or nuts, sprinkle them on top or fold them into the batter.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly crisp.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy! Serve your gluten-free zucchini bread warm, with a spread of vegan butter, or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread
  • Squeeze out that zucchini: Excess moisture is the enemy of a good zucchini bread. Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible for a perfectly moist loaf.
  • Don’t overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the bread dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let it cool completely: I know it’s tempting to dig in right away, but letting the bread cool completely helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
  • This recipe can be used to make gluten-free zucchini muffins: Just divide the batter into muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
