Gluten Free Zucchini Blueberry Bread! This hidden veggie bread is bursting with natural sweetness, loaded with nutrients and fiber. A wonderful anytime bread that even picky eaters will love! Gluten Free + Low Calorie

Hi Guys!  How's Monday treating ya?  I hope this week goes better than this past one. Last Monday I slept through my alarm and missed my workout. I feel like it set the tone for my entire hairy, stress crazed week. I'm expecting another stressful week or two so my posts will be short and sweet.

So let's start this week off right with a healthy treat and do I ever have a good recipe to share with you today.

Gluten-Free Zucchini Blueberry Bread

I know I've been teasing you guys with posts like this and this of my delicious breads I've been whipping up.  This zucchini thing started a few weeks ago when I bought too many at the market for a dinner recipe.

I don't mind having extras, but I had extra extras. Enough to freeze, enough to make roasted vegetables for the week and enough for 2 loaves of zucchini bread. And of course the practical thing to do is test a recipe with it, right?

I made this recipe gluten-free. I'm not gluten-free 100% of the time, but I do try to keep a low amount of it in my diet. My stomach doesn't like too much of it. I become bloated and look pregnant when I eat too much of it and with all the veggies I eat every day, it's just best for me to keep gluten under raps cuz I'm not cutting out the veggies.

What I loved most about this recipe besides being gluten-free) was the sweetness of the blueberries in the bread.  They melt in your mouth like chocolate!  Oh my gosh I need to make more of this bread RIGHT NOW and you do too.  Enjoy!
