Homemade Zucchini Bread Recipe

This easy homemade zucchini bread recipe is a super special treat and is a great way to use all of the extra garden zucchini this time of year!

I admit Homemade Zucchini Bread  is one of my favorite breads. When I had to go gluten free this was one of the things I missed the most!  (Nope, none of the gluten free substitutes are even close. :-)

One trick to be able to have great Homemade Zucchini Bread all year long is to grate it, lay it on a cookie sheet and then freeze. When frozen, break it into to pieces and put it in a freezer bag. That way you can have zucchini bread all year long!
