Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I have a ton… and I do mean a ton of zucchini that I need to use up. My Hubs and I neither one use cane sugar any longer. I was going to go searching for a good alternative recipe for Zucchini Bread. Now, thanks to you, I don’t have to.
I’m so glad I came across this recipe–pinning! I absolutely love zucchini and always stock up on it at the farmer’s market so I’m glad I can put it to a new use. Happy Summer and keep the garden recipes coming!
Know what I like? I love chocolate added to that zucchini bread. It’s so good. My neighbour made me a loaf of it once and I’m like… what? Vegetable bread? No thanks. Then I ate it. And I ate the entire thing in a matter of a few days. I mean, what is this life before I had zucchini bread? and now I know how to make it, all thanks to YOU and your blog. Delicious. Guess what I’m doing this afternoon!
I love zucchini bread! The farmer’s markets here seem to get the biggest Zucchinis and they always make amazing bread. This sounds like a great gluten free recipe; I have several friends who are gluten free.
This looks awesome! It is not very often that I find a delicious loaf/bread that looks good and is also gluten free! I will be pinning this for sure so that I can make it at a later date! Thanks for sharing 🙂
That looks delicious! I love zucchini, but I’ve never tasted a zucchini bread. It looks so soft and moist. I am not good at making breads, but this one looks easy. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe!
I definitely pinned this! I love gathering homemade bread recipes especially since I’ve wanted an alternative to some other breads that we love. I love that this is gluten free and sugar free. I may have to make it and see if I like it for when my family comes over here from the east coast. Thanks so much for sharing!
While I have never made zucchini bread myself, it is one of my favorites. it has such a delicious taste, I cannot eat just one piece. Well, unless you cut really huge pieces. 🙂 definitely pinning this recipe to come back later. Maybe I can get someone to make it for me soon.
I LOVE zucchini bread. This recipe for a healthy and gluten free zucchini bread looks amazing! I am going to pin it for sure! Thanks so much for sharing!
Zucchini bread is one of my family’s favorites. I make paleo banana bread but haven’t found a zucchini bread recipe that I like. I will definitely be trying this!
This looks so good. I would love to try this recipe out – I think that the kids and my spouse would love this one for sure!
I’m new to SCD and am trying your zucchini recipe right now. It looks delicious. However, I am surprised there is no oil in the recipe. I did follow your measurement suggestions, but I can’t help but wonder if you gave the measurements in weight if that would prove to be a more accurate measure? Plus I didn’t see what size pan you used. I am using a standard 1 qt clear glass loaf pan. I am eager to see how it turns out. Looks like you have many good SCD recipes on your site I’ll be eager to try.
I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for your work. Makes life so much easier for those of us just starting SCD.
