Zucchini Bread

So like I said earlier in the week, we have a ton of zucchini just sitting around at our house. So yesterday I made 6 loaves of zucchini bread. I found a good, easy recipe online. It's also kinda healthy because instead of butter it uses applesauce...I know what your thinking "wouldn't that make it apple bread...?" No. I was skeptical when I started this recipe but it is AMAZING and there are a ton of different variations to it!


Zucchini Bread*

Makes: 2 loaves

3 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 T. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 cup applesauce
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
1 cup grated zucchini

Preheat oven to 375.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, both sugars, baking powder, and baking soda. Then add the applesauce, eggs, and vanilla and mix well. Once combined, add zucchini and mix.

Spray 2 loaf pans and split the batter between the 2 of them. Bake for 40-45 min or until it passes the tooth pick test. Wait until cooled to removed from pan.

* Variations:
Add 1 cup of mini chocolate chips with zucchini
Add 1-2 mashed bananas with applesauce (Warning: I have not tried this yet..)
After 15 minutes of baking, top with 1/2-1 cup of coconut (Haven't perfected this one yet)
Comment any other variations that you try!! :)
