Zucchini Bread

  • Anyone have Zucchinis galore sitting on your countertop? I like this one because it isn't very sweet. I got it from here, but I wanted to record a few things I changed/substituted. 

  • 2 eggs (or substitute with flax eggs: 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal + 5 tablespoons water)
  • 2+ cups shredded, unpeeled zucchini (wring out the excess liquid with a towel) 
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or anything sweet. I used brown sugar)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (or part of a ripe banana, or nothing)
  • 1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (or gluten free or white)
  • plus any extras you want:
  • 1/2 cup toasted raw walnuts or pecans, or 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, or raisins... 
Mix the zucchini in last. I omitted the banana/applesauce bc I didn't have any and it was fine. It is a thick batter. 
Makes 1 loaf. 
Heat oven to 325, cook for 50-55 minutes.
