Coconut Banana Zucchini Bread #BreadBakers

I'm still working on using up all of the zucchini on my counter.  Today I am sharing a gluten-free recipe using coconut flour, coconut flakes, and zucchini sweetened only with a bit of honey and an over-ripe banana.  It is a great Day on the Farm when I can use up both zucchini and over-ripe bananas!!

And as a bonus, this loaf is also Gluten Free as are the others being shared with our Bread Bakers group this month. 


BreadBakers
Sneha of Sneha's Recipe is hosting this month and invited us to join her in sharing Gluten Free Breads.  Let's see what everyone baked up......
#BreadBakers is a group of bread-loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.

We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.

Coconut Banana Zucchini Bread

I have a cupboard filled with different kinds of flour so I wanted to make bread using flour that was naturally gluten-free instead of buying a bag of gluten-free flour from the store.

I found a recipe for zucchini bread using coconut flour over at Small Footprint Family and adapted it to fit my needs.  It turned out scrumptious!!
