Yes, for best results with your zucchini bread, it’s important to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini before mixing it into the batter.

There’s no need to take the skin off of zucchini when making zucchini bread. The skin has lots of nutrients and you won’t notice it when it’s all baked up! Just use a box grater or grating attachment on your food processor to grate the entire zucchini.

If you can have dairy, use a regular vanilla yogurt and melted butter. If you can’t have dairy, use a non-dairy yogurt alternative and your choice of oil to make this dairy-free zucchini bread. I often use corn oil since it’s a flavorless oil I usually have on hand.

The 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter is equal to 3/4 cup of oil. The yogurt to non-dairy yogurt is a straight swap.

I’ve also seen recipes that call for straining the zucchini which I personally think is a pain, lengthens your prep, and can provide inconsistent results. My solution to avoid having to strain and also to avoid the results being too soggy, is to just make sure to cut the seedy center out of the zucchini.

First you need to decide whether you want green flecks from the zucchini’s peel in your bread or not. I always do. But if you are don’t, go ahead and peel before you cut in half.

NowI use a good knife to cut my zucchini into manageable chunks. This particular garden zucchini was the size of a kids chunky bat, so I definitely needed to cut it to smaller chunks of about 8″ long to work with.

Next I use a grapefruit spoon to quickly and easily scoop out the seedy centers. I put this into a bowl and compost it.

Paleo Zucchini Bread

I like to use my food processor to shred the zucchini. First I cut the zucchini up to skinnier strips so I can put them through the food processor feeder:

I have a large 10 cup food processor, and when I pull it out I go ahead and shred all of the zucchini – more than what I need for this recipe.

Easy

Then I measure out what I need for this recipe and save any extra to make more loaves of zucchini bread later in the week, or to make gluten-free zucchini brownies with instead.

Lightly spray your loaf pans with cooking spray and start your oven preheating to 375°. I baked these in my favorite loaf pans – 9x4x4 USA Pan Loaf Pans. They make beautiful straight-sided loaves with that are just right for slicing.

In a large mixing bowl, add your dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if needed), baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.

In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and sugar. Whisk together the butter and sugar. It’ll look like this when done:

Alternate adding some of the flour mixture and some of the shredded zucchini to the mixing bowl, gently folding/stirring with a rubber spatula.

Continue alternating adding some flour mixture and zucchini until all is gently stirred in. Be sure to use your spatula to scrape bottom and sides of bowl so there aren’t any clumps of flour left behind.

Divide the zucchini bread batter evenly between two greased loaf pans. Note, if you only have small loaf pans, evenly divide between more of them, and adjust baking time down a lot and check often for doneness.

The Best Gluten Free Zucchini Bread Ever

Place the baking pans in your preheated oven and set timer for 43 minutes. The zucchini loaves I bake in these pans are usually done in the 45-50 minute range, so I recommend starting checking at 43 minutes. I highly recommend using an oven thermometer so you know your oven is at the proper temperature for all baking.

Gluten

Bake at 375° until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out with crumbs only, no wet batter, about 45-50 minutes.

Baking time WILL VARY based on the pans you use – the size and shape of them. So peek to check on them! If you have chosen to divide between mini pans, you’ll definitely need a much shorter baking time. Give it a guess on time and check often!
