Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 piece large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense bread.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve slices warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
