Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups zucchini, grated
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the optional chopped walnuts and raisins evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
