Guilt Free Zucchini Bread image

I love zucchini bread but hate the guilt from using all that oil and butter that most recipes call for. I created this recipe by making a few tweaks to my mother's recipe and everyone loves it! - including her :) A fun twist is to make zucchini muffins instead.

Time 50m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
1/4 cup natural applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (imitation will work, but I prefer pure)
2 organic eggs
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grease bread pan.
  • Combine dry ingredients (except raisins and walnuts) in medium bowl.
  • In large mixing bowl combine wet ingredients (I prefer to use my Kitchen Aid).
  • Once wet ingredients are mixed, slowly incorporate dry ingredients.
  • Fold in raisins and walnuts.
  • Add to bread pan and bake for 40-45min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
