Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Melted coconut oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded zucchini (moisture squeezed out)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Vegan chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded zucchini to the batter. If you're using chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips, add them now and gently mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the zucchini bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the zucchini bread once it has cooled. Enjoy it as-is or with a slather of vegan butter.
