1 cups all-purpose flour
2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or 2 mashed ripe bananas
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-4 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Sift flours, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Note the addition of the baby monitor while I cook and bake now! 
3. Beat eggs, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and sugars together in a large bowl.
Instead of mashing the banana in a bowl, mash it in its peel before you add it to the recipe!
Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well.
Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
4. Bake for ~60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool. Serves 24.
Nutrition Notes: Subbing half the oil for applesauce or bananas not only cuts the fat, but adds more natural sweetness so that you can use less sugar! Perfect!
Taste Test: Delicious and moist! This makes 2 huge loaves so make sure to share the love! I gave some to my pals Jess and Kev when their cute doggie Penny stopped by for the night to play!
I’ll leave you with a few pictures of my little munchkin.
