Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¾ cup grated zucchini ((do not drain or squeeze out excess moisture))
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce ((or use ¼ cup of pumpkin purée or 4 tablespoons butter, melted))
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350° F (177° C). Lightly grease a 5-inch baking dish (or use a dish of similar size) with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the grated zucchini, sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until no flour remains, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy or store wrapped at room temperature.
