Zucchini Bread or Muffins, Gluten & Dairy Free
This is the time of year that zucchini takes over my garden, people sneak around during the night leaving giant green squashes on neighbors porches and everyone makes sure their car doors are locked. If you leave them open, someone might leave you a bag of zucchini!
If you have the same problem where you live, you might want to grate up a bit of extra zucchini and freeze it in packages for a winter treat of this yummy bread. I usually package grated zucchini in 1 1/2 cup or 3 cup portions, enough to make a single or double batch of this yummy bread.
If you want to bake multiple batches of muffins for the freezer (OAMC), here is a printable recipe card with multiple batches and freezer instructions figured out for you.

What is bean flour blend? I’m new to this gluten free way of cooking and I’d love to make this, but not sure what to shop for as far as bean flour blend.
Hi! Sorry, I now have the bean flour blend linked and what it breaks down to in the gluten free flours/starches. You can also use the Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour Blend in the same amounts (it is a bean blend). I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
