Gluten-Free Vegan Zucchini Bread
Gluten-Free Vegan Zucchini Bread is the perfect quick bread for a snack, tea or dessert. I’m crazy about making loaves of sweet bread, because they are easy to make, and you get to add your favorite fruits, veggies, nuts, etc. Examples are my Vegan Blueberry Pineapple Bread, Gluten-Free Vegan Banana Bread, Lemon Pound Cake, and Strawberry Banana Bread.
Vegan Zucchini Bread
Here in Florida, we are already enjoying zucchini and I’m including them in many of my dishes. I just enjoyed Ratatouille with zucchini, and I had leftovers so making this moist zucchini bread was just right, and this easy zucchini bread comes together in no time at all.
How To Grate Zucchini For Bread
- Wash zucchini to remove dirt, and cut both ends off the zucchini. Place a box grater on a cutting board, and rub unpeeled zucchini up and down the holes.
How To Make Zucchini Bread?
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×4 baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Brown Rice Four, Almond Flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a smaller bowl mix almond milk, ground flaxseeds, oil, and vanilla.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until batter is smooth. Fold the shredded zucchini into the batter.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 70-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container for a day, after that in the refrigerator for 5 days.
Tips For Making Zucchini Bread
- Substitute cinnamon and nutmeg with 1 teaspoon coriander and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom for a milder flavor.
- Add 1/4 cup of your favorite nuts to the zucchini bread batter, such as pecans or walnuts.
- Add dried fruit such as raisins or Craisins™ to the batter.
Can You Freeze Zucchini Bread?
Yes, zucchini bread can be stored in the freezer safely for up to 2 months. Wrap your zucchini bread in parchment paper, and place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag.

The idea of making a gluten free option? Makes me so happy. Thanks for sharing a gluten free zucchini bread recipe. It is one of my favorite recipes, and I wasn’t quite sure how to do it gluten free.
you’re very welcome! I’m thrilled to hear that you’re excited about the gluten-free zucchini bread option. Adapting favorite recipes to be gluten-free can open up a world of culinary possibilities for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this gluten-free zucchini bread.
I love zucchini bread and I happen to have some almond flour in the freezer so I will be taking some zucchini from the garden and making this this weekend. Thx!
We love fresh bread here. I will have to make this!
That’s fantastic to hear that you enjoy fresh bread, and zucchini bread is a delightful choice! It’s a unique and delicious way to incorporate vegetables into a sweet treat.
Hi, can’t really have rice is there anyway I can just use only almond flour. Thanks,
Nicole, I didn’t try it without the rice. If you are grain-free, then it will take experimenting with psyllium husk, cassava flour (not starch), and doubling the almond flour and ground flax seeds. If you can have other grains, then sorghum flour would be a great substitute.
Hi can you use all rice flour in place of almond flour? My daughter is allergic to gluten, nuts and coconut. 😞
Karin, yes you can. Bake until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean.
I tried this recipe and it was just so good! I posted the pic on fb with #healthiersteps. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe.
Wow Janice, thank you for sharing it. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
