Gluten- Free Pumpkin Zucchini Bread

(gluten free, grain free & low in sugar)

This delicious pumpkin zucchini bread is grain free, low in sugar and packed with nutrition! It’s easy to make and tastes delicious!

Pumpkin and zucchini come together to make the perfect loaf! This bread recipe is easy to make, grain free, and packs extra vitamins, minerals and fiber from the pumpkin puree and zucchini!

Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and chocolate chips, this bread is the perfect weekend baking treat! I like to make it in early August when I’m starting to crave all things pumpkin and zucchini is in season and everywhere!

Zucchini is almost as versatile as pumpkin puree can be and both are a great source of vitamin C and fiber! They give this bread an unbelievable texture for a gluten and grain free baked good!
