Tender and perfectly sweet, these gluten-free, dairy-free mini zucchini loaves are easy to make and a great way to sneak veggies in. Only one zucchini and a few other ingredients needed before this stunning quick bread is baking in your oven.
My husband made lasagna using zucchini as the “noodles” the other day and we ended up with one zucchini leftover. One. What the heck do you do with one zucchini? You make zucchini bread, of course.
Zucchini, unlike bananas, don’t add flavor to bakes goods. They mostly add moisture, and some much needed vitamins.
When my kids asked me what I was making, and I told them zucchini bread and they turned their little noses up at me. I had to explain to them that zucchini bread doesn’t taste like zucchini. If you look at the photo below, you can hardly even see the zucchini.
This gluten-free zucchini bread has the same texture and flavor as glutinous zucchini bread. I used the Ryze yellow bag of flour, which is designed for breads and cakes, and threw a handful of chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking it.
My girls loved the gluten-free zucchini bread and agreed that it did not in fact taste like zucchini. They asked that I mix in the chocolate chips and add more of them next time. I’m not surprised.
I’m getting ready to head out of town for a few days and my girls both requested I make more zucchini bread before I go. They are quite spoiled with homemade breakfasts and treats.
I took them asking me as an excuse to make myself a couple of mini loafs for my trip. I’m not a big breakfast eater, but I do like to enjoy a little bit of something with my coffee in the morning.
