Instructions
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Next wash the zucchini well, trim off the stem, then using the large holes on a box grater, grate the zucchini and set it to the side. You’ll need roughly 2 cups of grated zucchini.
- 2.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 3.
Add the grated zucchini to the bowl and stir until well combined.
- 4.
Now in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
- 5.
Pour the flour mixture into the bowl of wet ingredients and stir them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this point.
- 6.
Add the chopped walnuts to the bowl and gently fold them into the batter until just combined.
- 7.
Grease a 8.5"x4.5" loaf pan with butter, then add the batter evenly into the pan.
- 8.
Bake the zucchini bread in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until it's deeply golden brown on top, has a crack down the center, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean (crumbs are okay, but wet batter is not).
- 9.
Allow the loaf to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then gently remove it from the pan and allow it to finish cooling on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice, serve, and enjoy!
