Equipment

  • loaf pans
  • Wire cooling rack
  • food processor (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp guar or xanthan gum omit if flour mix contains gum
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2.5 cups zucchini shredded
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 banana mashed
  • 0.5 cup oil light olive oil suggested
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
  • Mash one banana until smooth. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana and mix until well combined.
  • Shred 2.5 cups of zucchini and add it to the wet ingredient mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Grease two loaf pans and divide the batter evenly between them.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before loosening the edges with a knife and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Applesauce can be substituted for banana for moisture, but this has not been tested. The banana primarily adds moisture and reduces sugar, with minimal flavor impact.
  • Ensure your gluten-free flour blend does not already contain xanthan gum. Light olive oil is recommended for best results.
