Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the vegetable oil and applesauce until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
