Farmer's Fresh Zucchini bread

I love summer in my area because all the surrounding town's have bunches of wonderful Farmer's Markets. Supporting local buyers and my community economy , eating fresh and in season is a wonderful treat. And I wish I could eat like this all the time. I got some delicious zucchini and decided to make what turned out to be the most incredible Zucchini bread ever. Even my pat (step dad) didn't think it tasted gluten free and let me tell you that is a big deal!

Oh and I found this handy substitute list for baking the last time I baked...I don't remember what I was out of but I thought this was awesome, so check it out http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/common-ingredient-substitutions/detail.aspx.

No on to the bread!

Grocery list:
1. Two zucchini
2. eggs
3. oil
4. vanilla
5. GF flour
6. Xanthan Gum
7. Salt
8.Baking soda
9. Baking Powder
10. Cinnamon

First combine...
2 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of oil
1 cup zucchini
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Mix until blended

Next add ....
1 1/2 cup of gluten free flour ( I used Bob's Red mill)
1 1/4 teaspoon Xanthan
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix all these into the first mixture until fully blended.

Bake
Bake for 1 hour at 350

And you will be ridiculously happy and have to force yourself not to eat it all in one sitting.
