Yummy Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

This is my mom’s recipe for zucchini bread that I have modified and changed to gluten free.  I hope you all enjoy it.

• 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 2 Teaspoons Gluten Free Vanilla

• 1  1/2 Cups All Purpose Gluten Free Flour mix*
• 1  Teaspoon Xanthan Gum

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat eggs, sugar, and oil in a large bowl with electric mixer.   Add vanilla and mix well.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and xanthan gum.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir by hand to mix well.  Add zucchinni and chopped nuts and stir to combine.

Pour into a greased 9×5 loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 60 to 70 minutes.  Until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Let me know what you think of it.
