Zucchini bread is one of those classic recipes that has been around for years. There are all kinds of different versions of zucchini bread out there.
Most of the classic zucchini bread recipes include basic ingredients. Some more modern recipes have extra add ins or special ingredients to make them fit a special diet.
Zucchini bread is one of those recipes that takes me back to my childhood. My parents always had a big garden and zucchini was one of the things they almost always grew.
If you know anything about zucchini you know that you often have way more of it than you need or can use.
Whenever my mom had lots of zucchini she would make zucchini bread and zucchini cake. Both were favorites of ours growing up.
I am not sure what recipe my mom used all those years ago, but I know it was a classic recipe with basic ingredients. She kept her recipes simple.
I have several zucchini bread recipes that we love including my regular zucchini bread recipe and my gluten free chocolate zucchini bread. but over the summer my daughter requested that I make something that was both gluten free and dairy free.
So earlier this summer I got to work on coming up with a gluten free dairy free zucchini bread.
It took some work, but I finally came up with a gluten free dairy free zucchini bread that we love! It is so good no one will know that it is gluten and dairy free.
I used individual gluten free flours in this and I think that you get the best results when you do that. If you want to use a blend instead I would use Bob’s Red Mill 1 t0 1 Gluten Free Blend in place of the gf flours and xanthan gum.
