can this be made gluten free
Sure! You can replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour.
No they’re not. The ones I’ve bought from the store have been anywhere from 1 to 3 cups, grated
I always reduce the amount of sugar. I would start at 1/2 to 3/4 cups and add more to taste. Another option is to use dates instead, since you’re already using a blender
One trick I’ve learned with zucchini bread is if you use carrots instead of oil you can cut the sugar. I would also use dates instead of sugar. They are high in vitamins and minerals. If you’re putting it in the blender, they’ll get ground up anyway
