Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Zucchini (grated, excess water removed)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth. Add the applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini. If desired, stir in chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or top with butter or your favorite spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
