Introduction
My friend brought delicious zucchini bread to a potluck and I asked for the recipe. I tweaked the recipe a bit, making it a TINY bit healthier by using half regular flour, half whole wheat (both unenriched and unbleached) and by replacing the vegetable oil with applesauce. It still tastes PHENOMENAL! This makes 2 8x4 loaves. Cut it in half and you get 1! My friend brought delicious zucchini bread to a potluck and I asked for the recipe.

Ingredients
-
3c 50/50 flour (or 1.5c white/1.5c wheat)
1t salt
1t baking powder
1t baking soda
3t ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1c unsweetened applesauce
1.25c brown sugar
1c sugar
3t vanilla extract
2c zucchini, grated
1c chopped OR ground walnuts (this adds moisture so if you don't like nuts in your bread, grind them rather than chop them and you can't even tell they are in there!)
Directions
DIRECTIONS
Spray (with pam or whatever you have) and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Beat eggs, applesauce, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. (I sprinkle with brown sugar)
Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.
The nutritional info is based on 10 slices per loaf. Good luck eating just one though!!!

I halved the walnuts & added .25 cup flaxseed. These were great!! I made half the batch as mini muffins, the other half in a 9x5 pan. - 9/6/09

Great idea with the flax! I might try that next time. I've recently added it to turkey meatloaf for moisture and it was awesome.
