Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Bread is a classic recipe made gluten free. 

Some recipes just work better gluten free than others. Citrus recipes are an example of that. Citrus juices, like lemon, lime, and orange, help give gluten free recipes great taste and texture. 

Apples, applesauce, and zucchini are other examples. The moisture in apples and zucchini pair well with gluten free baking. They help give baked goods a great taste and texture. 

Today we are focusing on zucchini and one of my favorite zucchini recipes. The recipe is for chocolate zucchini bread!

This gluten free chocolate zucchini bread really is so good that no one will know it is gluten free. 

Can I use a gluten free flour blend in place of the individual gluten free flour? 

This recipe uses individual gluten free flours. Many people ask if they can use a gluten free flour blend in place of the individual flours in recipes like this. 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 I freeze chocolate zucchini bread?

Yes, you can freeze zucchini bread. 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.
