When zucchini is in season, we get quite an abundance from our garden. If you participate in a CSA you likely get a lot too!

We actually keep up with eating most of it fresh. But I do try to preserve some. I like to grate it and freeze it in two-cup portions so that I can make gluten-free zucchini bread any time of year!

Some of our other favorite ways to use zucchini include:

In my opinion, zucchini bread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, topped with lots of real butter.

Sometimes for variety I add chopped walnuts, raisins, cranberries, or chocolate chips. My kids love all of these variations.

Easy-Prep Zucchini Bread

One of the best things about soaking your grains is that you can do most of the prep work ahead of time. I prefer to do it the night before. Then in the morning you can have fresh zucchini bread in the oven in minutes!

By the time everyone is showered and dressed there is warm zucchini bread for breakfast. Pair it with eggs or bacon for a well-balanced, real food diet.

    I was looking for a website with lots of soaked flour recipes and yours is right on! I substituted 4 mashed bananas for the zucchini and only put 1/3 cup of coconut sugar and 1 T stevia. I also added 3 T of ground chia seeds and 1/2 c sprouted sunflower seeds for added fiber. Absolutely scrumptious! You can’t even tell it’s gluten free! My kids (sometimes picky) loved it too! Thank you so much for the recipe!
