Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Honey or maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Shredded zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
