- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (keep moisture)
- Optional: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, or similar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.

- In a separate bowl, blend oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Fold in the grated zucchini, and add optional ingredients if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Do not squeeze out zucchini moisture for a moist bread.
- Use dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Add cloves or allspice for a complex spice profile.
