Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, both sugars, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Grate the zucchini directly into the wet mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined—some lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow cooling in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
