Zucchini Season is in full swing! The blossoms! The zucchini! Since we have really collected some beautiful gluten free zucchini recipes over the last couple years here on the blog, you had to know the zucchini collage was inevitable. You had to! I do this out of l-o-v-e. And especially now that I see all the good baking that the generous zucchini can do, all in one place, I have a new appreciation for this butt of jokes, this bane of our summer's garden. Let's celebrate the zucchini for all the goodness it brings us! Next year, I vow to anticipate happily the summer's zucchini gifts for my own baking, and not just impose them upon my unsuspecting neighbors!*
*If my husband is reading this, please know I say this not to encourage you to add more zucchini plants to your garden. Just to celebrate the 2 plants I have already sanctioned. Next year, more tomatoes, please!

Here's a 10¢ tour of these 6 fabulous gluten free zucchini recipes (plus another set of links):
Gluten Free Savory Zucchini Bread: A delicious departure from sweet zucchini bread, this moist and fragrant loaf owes much of its charm to just the right balance of white cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. And … to the zucchini!
Zucchini Oatmeal Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies: Thick & chewy, and perfectly soft, these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are your basic sink-your-teeth-into-'em cookies that, if you ask me, taste perfectly perfect right out of the freezer. When no one's looking and asks to share…
Gluten Free Zucchini Fritters: A mix of shredded potatoes and shredded zucchini, pan fried until crispy and browned on the outside, pillow-soft on the inside, these fritters are worth the modicum of trouble.
Gluten Free Chocolate Zucchini Cake: If you've never had chocolate zucchini cake, then you don't know. What don't you know? That the zucchini doesn't flavor the cake at all. It just makes the most moist, chocolatey cake you have ever had.
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread: The classic zucchini bread. This recipe makes the Cadillac of all zucchini baked goods. The one summer just wouldn't be summer without. Every summer, you look for this recipe on google. And here it is, waiting for you to grace it with a click.
Gluten Free Bittersweet Chocolate Zucchini Bread: A little twist on the classic, this rich chocolate zucchini bread isn't sweet enough to be cake, and is just chocolatey enough to be a rich, satisfying quick bread. So many choices!
