How to make gluten free zucchini bread (step-by-step)
I love this recipe because I use just one bowl, so the clean up is easy! Here’s what you’ll do.
Ingredient notes
- Gluten Free Oat Flour – make sure it’s certified gluten free to avoid contamination. We like Bob’s Red Mill GF Oat Flour.
- Unsweetened nut milk – I prefer using homemade almond milk or cashew milk, but canned coconut milk also works well too.
Tips from an expert home chef
- Make sure you squeeze the extra liquid out of the shredded zucchini with paper towels before folding into the batter. You want your loaf moist, but not mushy. And it will last for longer on the counter this way, too.
- Cut your parchment paper into a strip that nearly matches the length of your bread pan so that you can easily pull the loaf out after it’s done baking.
- Allow the loaf to fully cool before slicing. It will fall apart if you slice too soon.

Easy Gluten Free Zucchini Bread (Vegan, too!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup unsweetened nut milk, (or light coconut milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded zucchini, excess liquid squeezed out
Optional mix-ins:
- 2/3 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, (or as a topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and spices.
- Add the rest of the wet ingredients, except for the zucchini, and mix until evenly mixed and clumps are gone.
- Fold in the zucchini and any other optional mix-ins.
- Pour batter into lined loaf pan and transfer to the oven to bake for ~60 minutes, until a knife comes out clean in the center of the loaf.
- Once done, remove from oven and use the parchment paper to pull the loaf out of the pan, and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy. Store at room temperature on the counter in an airtight container for about 3 days, or in the fridge for longer.
