One Bowl Chocolate Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free)

I’ve been craving baked treats lately. Banana Bread, Muffins, scones, you name it. I don’t know if it’s pregnancy or just random, but I need it and I need it now. Anywho, my sister and I were chatting at lunch the other day, and she mentioned needing more healthy snacks for Luke, preferably something with veggies (but veggies in disguise, if you will).

So, I decided to make zucchini bread.. but not just any zucchini bread. Yep, it’s a one bowl wonder and something you’re going to need in your life ASAP.

Let’s get real- i’m not a professional baker, so I didn’t mess with separating the wet from the dry ingredients for this recipe and it still turned out perfectly! It has so much flavor and honestly tastes like a dream! Secretly loading up on some veggies is always nice, too. 🙂

      Absolutely!! You can freeze the whole loaf by first letting it cool, then wrapping into plastic wrap and if you want to go a step further put into ziplock bag before putting in freezer. I also like to cut into individual slices and then wrap each slice in plastic wrap then put in a bag. That way if you want to thaw one slice, it’s easy peasy!! Hope that was helpful!

    What oil would you recommend if not using applesauce?

      You could use coconut oil, vegetable oil, or even a light olive oil should work!

    I just made this…it’s still warm…and I had to jump on and leave a review. Hands down, the most delicious GF recipe I’ve made in a long time. No substitution made!!!!

    I cut most gluten from my diet a few months ago, and have been looking for a sweet treat to have from time to time. This recipe is it!!! My kids are going to love this.
