Gluten Free Zucchini Bread Recipe- Refined Sugar Free

I am a pretty good cook, but one of my biggest culinary challenges is coming up with recipes for dessert that don't contain refined sugar but still taste good. I've made many flops in the process, unfortunately, but this recipe is one of my successes, fortunately. This zucchini bread is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. It was a hit with everyone who tried it. I hope you like it as much as my family and guests did.

Its also the perfect thing to do with your zucchini if you have a garden with a zucchini surplus, as I know often happens in August to gardeners.

I've included both a gluten free and a regular version of the recipe.
