Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups coarsely or medium shredded zucchini (packed and not squeezed)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup walnuts (coarsely chopped) (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your 9 x 5 loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Set the pan aside.
- In a large mixing bowl: Add the egg, applesauce, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined. Stir in the shredded zucchini until evenly mixed.
- Gently add the flour to the mixture: Use a spatula to mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect the texture of your bread.
- Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan: Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked: Remove from the oven and let it cool on a rack for about 10 minutes. Carefully lift it out using the parchment paper flaps and allow it to cool completely for another 30 minutes.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, cut your bread into 12 slices: Enjoy your delicious healthy zucchini bread fresh or stored for later!
