Equipment

1 9 x 5 loaf pan

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups gluten free measure for measure flour I like King Arthur Brand
1.5 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

2 eggs
2 tbsp maple syrup
¾ cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup avocado oil
¼ cup plain greek yogurt sub applesauce for dairy free!
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 large zucchini) squeezed with paper towels to remove excess water & moisture.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350. Line a 9x5 bread baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients except for the zucchini. Mix well to combine until smooth.
Add in the drained zucchini and stir gently to fold it in.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and bake for 42-45 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store leftover gluten free zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, then move it to the refrigerator. Eat within one week for optimal freshness.

Chocolate Chips: If you want to add chocolate chips, I love Enjoy Life's dairy-free version. Stir in ½-3/4 cup as the last step before pouring it into the baking dish.

Dairy Free: If you want this recipe to be dairy-free, sub apple sauce for the yogurt!

Moisture: It's important to squeeze your grated zucchini with a paper towel to make sure you get any additional water out. This will help prevent any sogginess in your bread.

Grating the Zucchini: I find it's easiest to use the side with the large holes on a box grater. Box graters have the best grip and are quick and easy to use.
