Introducing…*drum roll*…our first-ever gluten-free baked good recipe! This is so exciting for me because I have so many friends who are Celiac or can’t eat gluten and I’ve always felt bad bringing baked goods over that they couldn’t eat, so now I’m very glad to have this new skill in my back pocket. And guys! When I’m telling you this Vegan and GF Date and Zucchini Bread is amazing, I mean it! It’s soft, moist, flavorful, and mouthwatering! It’s definitely one for the recipe books!
I used a flax egg in this recipe as an egg replacement. The xantham gum, baking soda, and baking powder also work as rising and binding agents. For the non-dairy margarine, I used Earth Balance Baking sticks which are gluten-free and they have the perfect buttery flavor. I also used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All-Purpose Mix for the gluten-free flour. This flour does have garbanzo beans (chickpeas) in it, so if you’re allergic to chickpeas please use a different gluten-free flour.
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting this recipe to taste like, but it pleasantly surprised me! The flavors were incredible! Also, don’t forget to soak your dates before you put them into the mix, otherwise they’ll be hard and crunchy (which isn’t the best). For soaking the dates, I just used boiling water in the recipe. Make sure to follow the instructions because there are some pretty important steps you don’t want to miss.
That’s all for today everyone! You need to try this Vegan and GF Date and Zucchini Bread, it’s actually incredible! If you want a different bread recipe try our Vegan Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread! And if you have leftover zucchini to use, make these Vegan Zucchini Fritters! Please let me know if you have more Gluten-free recipes you want me to make! I love experimenting, so I’m up for the challenge!
