How to Make Low Fat Healthy Zucchini Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add 2 cups grated zucchini and fold until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 40 minutes.
