Serves:
4-6
Ingredients:
- 1 cup zucchini, shredded and drained (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Mix the zucchini, applesauce, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until combined. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until just combined.
- Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, an additional 25-30 minutes.
- Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool and serve.
Tip:
Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips to batter if desired.
