Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread

By 12 Comments

I just started experimenting with chia seed flour in my baking.  I love the nutritional stats for chia seeds and want to incorporate them more into my baked goods.  I found a great gluten-free blend that contains ground chia seeds, rose tapioca, millet and chestnut flour.  It’s delicious in quick breads and muffins.  

I also use Pamela’s gluten-free baking mix and an unflavored protein powder called Whole Nectar in this gluten free zucchini bread recipe.  You can leave the protein powder out and just use the chia flour and baking mix for this bread, but I love adding a little more protein in my recipes.  This zucchini bread turns out very moist.  I don’t even miss the wheat flours or refined sugar in the classic recipe.

This gluten free zucchini bread is incredibly moist, and so healthy, with an added boost of protein powder and extra fiber from chia seed flour.

    I LOVE this Amee! I really need to start making more gluten free recipes in our house. I honestly think it will be beneficial in many ways. Definitely going to look for the items in your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing on Thursday’s Treasures week 46. <3 and hugs!
