Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 heaping cup peeled and chopped apple
  • Optional: coarse sparkling sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg until combined.
  3. Mix together the vegetable oil (or avocado oil), unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Toss the peeled and chopped apples with the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Fold these apples into the batter.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The top should be golden and set.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts. Store any leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature.
