Gluten Free Lemon Zucchini Bread is loaded with flavor, the perfect pop of lemon and a super moist bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert!
I am super excited to add a new section to Joy + Oliver! Gluten Free is not a an area that I had plans to dive into, but after a few months of learning about a gluten intolerance in my life…here I am! As a pastry chef that has baked with flour, sugar, dairy and all the decadent stuff, I am definitely learning as I go. I am still going to be sharing recipes made with regular flour, but I am so excited to share my gluten free journey! Although different than what I am used to, I am actually really enjoying this process. I am learning about aspects of baking that I was not aware of and having so much fun experimenting in my kitchen!
As January is a perfect time to enjoy all things citrus, Lemon Zucchini Bread is a recipe that I have tested and am excited to share as my first official Gluten Free recipe! Gluten Free Lemon Zucchini Bread has the perfect crumb, is super moist and is loaded with vegetables…this is a win win! As I have played around with different gluten free flours, this bread paired best with Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour! The zest and juice adds the right amount of flavor; tart, sweet and refreshing! I have enjoyed this bread for breakfast with a cup of coffee, my kids are loving it for an after school snack or paired with a scoop of ice cream, Lemon Zucchini Bread would make a great dessert!
