- 3 eggs
- 1/2 C. oil

- 1 1/4 C. sugar

- 3 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 C. grated zucchini
- 1 C. nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then blend in the oil, applesauce, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Add the grated zucchini to the wet mixture.
- Gradually integrate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding everything gently.
- If you wish to include nuts or chocolate chips, add them now, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is thoroughly drained after grating to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter as this can result in a dense loaf.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in dried fruits or extra spices like nutmeg or ginger.
- Zucchini Bread can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to three months.
