Zucchini is a-plenty this time of the year! So why not use all the zucchini in your garden and make zucchini bread! This zucchini bread is gluten free and vegan – but if you don’t have food sensitivities, you can use regular flour and eggs where gluten-free flour and flax eggs are used.

Zucchini Bread Gluten Free 

Ingredients

1.5 cups gluten-free flour – I use ½ cup each almond meal, tapioca and sorghum flours – Trader Joe’s Just Almond Meal is a good option

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp vanilla

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1.5 cups grated zucchini (skin also)

1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips – I use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips or chunks

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

¼ cup coconut unsweetened flaked
