Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Zucchini, grated
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and unsweetened applesauce. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Continue whisking until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Zucchini Bread by Barbaja W!
