Gluten-Free Cinnamon Swirl Zucchini Bread
Move over banana bread, because gluten-free cinnamon swirl zucchini bread is here! You only need a couple of medium-sized zucchini and everything else should be a kitchen staple for the most part.
Now how would you eat your freshly baked zucchini bread? With a dollop of dairy-free butter or a drizzle of honey? I went the butter route!

I made this and it was really good – thanks for the recipe! The family loved it, too.
There are a couple of errors, though, in the directions of the recipe. Step 1: you forgot to say to add the oil. Step 3: which should be whisk? Step 5: The cinnamon/sugar mixture…either 1/2 of the mixture between two layers, or 1/3 of the mixture ending with the last 1/3 on the top? It wasn’t too clear.
Looks like there were some spelling errors. Thank you for your feedback here.
This is fantastic! I have made many zucchini bread recipes, this is by far my favorite!
