Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (260g) Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 tsp (5g) Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Salt
  • 1 tbsp (8g) Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (110g) Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup (150g) Light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) Grated zucchini, lightly squeezed
  • 1/2 cup (60g) Chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup (70g) Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the medium holes of your grater. Place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out the excess water until damp, not dripping.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until no clumps remain.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Once just combined, fold in the squeezed zucchini and any optional mix-ins until flour streaks disappear.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes.
  7. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The top should be a deep golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
