Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated zucchini lightly squeezed dry
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Fold in the grated zucchini. Add the walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips, if using.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Lightly squeeze the zucchini to remove excess moisture, but don't dry it completely.
  • Use a high-quality 1:1 gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Cover the loaf loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  • Store the bread only after it has cooled completely to maintain its texture.
