The Best Vegan Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread Posted: 23 Jul 2022 09:54 AM PDT We already have a recipe for chocolate zucchini bread (it's a fan favorite!), but we were missing a more classic version of this delicious loaf! Not anymore. Meet moist, nutty, subtly spiced zucchini bread that's undetectably vegan and gluten-free! This quick bread is perfectly sweet with a touch of wholesomeness and requires just 1 bowl and simple ingredients. You in? We thought so! Let us show you how it's done!
How to Make Vegan Gluten-Free Zucchini BreadWe start this recipe off with grating the zucchini and squeezing out its excess moisture. This step prevents the bread from being too dense or gummy and it's an especially important one with gluten-free and vegan baking because it's more prone to those issues (don't worry, no gumminess here at MB, friends). Next, we mix the zucchini with the remaining wet ingredients. Avocado or coconut oil provides richness, almond milk (or other milk) adds enough moisture to help it rise, and vanilla adds flavor. We found a combination of coconut sugar + maple syrup provided the best combination of natural sweetness, flavor, and texture. A trio of gluten-free flours is important for making the texture of this zucchini bread undetectably gluten-free. While almond flour gives it a beautiful crumb, potato starch keeps it light and fluffy, and brown rice flour adds structure. The remaining ingredients include flaxseed meal to keep it from crumbling, baking powder and baking soda for rise, cinnamon for classic zucchini bread flavor, and salt to enhance it all. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. For best texture, let cool fully to allow the gluten-free flours to absorb any remaining moisture. We hope you LOVE this zucchini bread! It's: Moist Enjoy as a healthier dessert, sweet snack, or on-the-go breakfast. It's especially delicious served warm the next day topped with your favorite butter and a drizzle of maple syrup (or honey if not vegan). It would also be amazing as part of a brunch spread with fresh fruit, Spicy Tempeh Breakfast Sausages, Fluffy Vegan Scrambled Eggs, and Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots. Can we come over?

Frito Corn Salad (Quick and Easy) Posted: 21 Jul 2022 09:54 AM PDT Frito Corn Salad is the perfect potluck dish, a delicous snack on the deck or a great summer meal! This easy salad combines lots of fresh summer corn off the cob, crisp bell peppers, jalapenos, and of course crunchy Fritos all in a quick creamy dressing. This is the perfect side dish or appetizer dip loaded with veggies and corn! We Can't Get Enough of This Crunchy Corn SaladIf you've never had Frito Corn Salad before, you've been missing out my friends. It's pretty much the BEST ever way to enjoy Fritos (like they weren't amazing enough already)!
Ingredients in Frito SaladThis Frito Corn Salad is most definitely the perfect side dish Corn – Fresh off the cob, canned or frozen corn kernels work (fresh is best if you can). It's also a great way to use up leftover boiled or grilled corn on the cob. Bell peppers – Green and red bell peppers add flavor, crunch and color. Jalapeno (or not!) – I add canned jalapenos for a little kick. If you'd like to tame this recipe down a little, skip the jalapenos and add in some mild green chiles for flavor without the heat. Fritos – Fritos are our favorite but any corn chips can be used. Optional AdditionsUse this recipe as a base and change it up with your own favorites:

Make Ahead and LeftoversTo make this recipe ahead of time, stir everything together except the Fritos. At serving time, give the Fritos bag a quick squish, sprinkle them on top, and stir for a great crunch. To serve, use either the Frito scoop chips or tortilla chips (or celery) to scoop this up if you're serving it as a dip or just serve it with a fork as a side dish!
