Egg Free Gluten Free Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread

I was so excited to see this on Pinterest & to know I could still eat zucchini bread, chocolate chip zucchini bread even! I just had to make a few adjustments in my pantry, which was totally doable! And this recipe called for a banana, which is gross so I substituted applesauce. I think I used too much applesauce, since the bread came out a little too crumbly, like it literally could not hold up, but it still tasted sooo good!

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Bread (Pinterest):

2 /14 c gluten free flour
1 c grated zucchini
1/2 c dairy free chocolate chips
1/4 c dairy free milk
2/3 c sugar
1 1/2 c ripe bananas (or applesauce)
1/2 c oil
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp guar gum

Preheat oven to 350 for 20 min. In large bowl, smash bananas with a fork until small lumps remain & turn into a liquid consistency. Wash & grate zucchini. Place grated zucchini in several layers of paper towels and wring out excess water. Combine zucchini and all remaining ingredients. Mix until well incorporated.

Bake in a 9x5 bread pan with a foil tent for 45 min. Remove foil tent and bake for another 25-30 min. Check center for a toothpick, it should come out clean. Remove bread from oven. Allow to cool in pan for 5 min, then carefully transfer to wire rack to cool. Allow to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
