Low Histamine Gluten Free Zucchini Bread

Grated zucchini keeps this loaf incredibly moist, folded into a gently spiced batter warmed with cinnamon and nutmeg for that classic bakery-style flavor. The gluten free flour blend gives it a tender, even crumb that slices cleanly once cooled, and a touch of brown sugar adds deep, caramel-y sweetness throughout. Eggs and oil bring richness to the batter, while squeezing the zucchini dry beforehand keeps the texture soft without any sogginess in the middle. It bakes up into a deep-golden top that springs back to the touch, and the parchment sling makes lifting it out of the pan effortless. This is a solid pick for a low histamine kitchen, giving you a cozy, homemade quick bread without any guesswork on what's going into it. Slice it thick, let it cool fully for the cleanest cuts, and enjoy it as a make-ahead breakfast or afternoon snack.

1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient note
Some low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredient note
Low histamine diets often limit warming spices like nutmeg. The trace amount used here is likely tolerated. If you prefer to always avoid nutmeg, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups zucchini, grated and squeezed dry (about 2 medium zucchini)
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides, so you can lift the loaf out cleanly.
2
Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels, wrap tightly, and squeeze firmly over the sink until no more liquid comes out. Measure 2 cups of the squeezed zucchini and set aside.
