Preparation Tips
- Before starting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it. This setup ensures that your gluten free zucchini bread doesn’t stick and releases cleanly after baking.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
- Combine your gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. These spices add warmth and flavor, enhancing the natural sweetness of the zucchini. Mixing dry ingredients separately helps ensure they’re evenly distributed in the batter.
Mixing Wet Ingredients and Adding Zucchini
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the shredded zucchini and any other add-ins, like chocolate chips or nuts, for added flavor and texture. Gently combine wet and dry ingredients, avoiding overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.
Baking
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes.
- The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
- Allow the bread to cool for around 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, which is key for the best texture.
