Mammaws Zucchini Bread Can Also Be Modified To Gluten Free Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F; lightly grease four mini loaf pans, or one 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" metal loaf pan; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
• Add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and mix until well combined.
• Stir in the zucchini and chocolate chips (optional).
• Pour the batter into the prepared mini loaf pans, or larger loaf pan.
• For mini loafs, bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set. For the larger loaf pan, bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center sets.
• Remove the bread from the oven, and let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Once cooled, slice and serve.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI BREAD/MUFFIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients together first in a large mixing bowl, then add the wet ingredients and mix well. Lastly add the heaping 3 cups of grated zucchini. The way I grate zucchini is on a cheese grater over a plate and it usually takes about 1 large zucchini to get about 3 heaping cups. Use the juices and all the grated parts. Mix all together and it is ready for putting in pans.
• Some baking options:.
• This recipe will make either 24 muffin cups, or 2 loaf pans. You could also use 2 8x8 pans for this recipe, or even 1 9x13 pan. It makes a beautiful cake, bread, and muffin, so use for what you desire most. The muffins should be baked at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, the bread loaves should be baked at around 35-40 minutes, and a cake in a 9x13 should be around 30-40 minutes. Just check on it and pull from the oven when it is a golden brown color and after tested with a pick comes out clean with nothing gooey. The best baking temp is at 350 degrees. After pulled from the oven, make sure you cool for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into. And, let it be fully cooled before bagging up to freeze for best results.
• Other option:.
• If you only want to make one loaf, then half this recipe and make just one loaf or 12 muffins.

MAMMAW'S ZUCCHINI BREAD (CAN ALSO BE MODIFIED TO GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat eggs, sugar, zucchini, oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add in all remaining dry ingredients, spices, nuts, and raisins if desired.
• Optional: I do not add raisins to my zucchini bread, however, you can add 1/2 cup of raisins if you prefer.
• Grease 2 loaf pans only on the bottoms. Pour batter into loaf pans, fill pans half full leaving enough room for the bread to rise.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 60-80 minutes depending on your oven.
• After baking, cool for approximately 10 minutes, then remove from pans.
• I serve this as bread with butter, but you can also frost as cake for a sweeter taste.
• *IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE THIS A GLUTEN FREE RECIPE* My two favorite gluten-free flour mixtures are King Arthur's Multi-Purpose Gluten Free Flour, and also Andrea's Gluten Free Flour Blend from Andrea's Gluten Free Bakery. They can both be purchased online if you do not have access to a store that sells either brand. King Arthur's can be purchased at kingarthurflour.com and Andrea's mixture can be purchased at andreasglutenfree.com. The gluten free flour mixtures that are out there now are great! They take all of the guesswork out of having to add the gluten free starches and gums together to get the right consistancy and flavor that all purpose flour has.
