Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a classic chocolate zucchini bread made gluten free. 

Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread is another one of those recipes that is so good no one will know that it is gluten free.

I have served this to family and friends that don’t need to eat gluten free and they loved it. 

Gluten free food can be food that everyone enjoys!

Zucchini bread is one of those recipes that reminds me of my childhood. We always had a big garden and it was a family project. Which meant that my parents did most of the work, but we helped as well. 

There is a reason that many gardeners joke about having too much zucchini. It is one of those foods that sometimes just grows and grows and you quickly have way more than you need. 

When this happens the solution is to make all kinds of things with zucchini. Gluten free zucchini cake, zucchini bread, zucchini pizza, fried zucchini, zucchini muffins, and more.

Desserts have always been my favorite way to use up extra zucchini though. 

Chocolate and zucchini go so perfectly together! They make a delicious combination is this gluten free chocolate zucchini bread. 

This recipe uses individual gluten free flours. You might be wondering if you can use a gluten free blend in zucchini bread. The answer is that it depends on what kind of results you want. 

You can use a blend in this recipe, but the texture will be different. I have tried many different recipes for this and the best results, both taste and texture wise, were when I used the individual flours instead of a blend. 

Can freeze chocolate zucchini bread? Yes, you can freeze it. Quick breads freeze really well. You can freeze the whole loaf or you can slice and freeze individual pieces for easy breakfast, lunches, or snacks.
