Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 3 cups zucchini (grated)
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts (coarsely chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray two 8x4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oil, applesauce, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat until creamy and light.
  • Add the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and zucchini. Stir to combine, scraping the sides and bottom of bowl as necessary. Stir in chopped walnuts.
  • Pour the zucchini bread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 50-60 minutes at 325 degrees, being careful not to overbake it. You can test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the middle of a loaf and checking to see whether it comes out clean.
  • Remove the loaves of zucchini bread from the pans and allow to cool on a wire rack, then store in ziploc bags.
