My mom has a small vegetable garden at her home and gave me three large zucchinis to use. In return, I told her I would make some bread with it and share it back. This is what came of that venture...
For a batch that will make 8 mini loaves or 2 regular loaves, you will need the following:
3 eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
2/3 cup PACKED brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup grated zucchini
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped walnut (I did not add these as the hubs does NOT like any kind of nuts in his food...)
Note: I substituted the applesauce 1:1 for part of the canola oil to be slightly healthier. You can do 3/4 cup oil if you prefer, though.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour your loaf pans. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light yellow & frothy. Add in applesauce, oil, both sugars, zucchini, banana, and vanilla extract. Blend it together until well combined.
Stir in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in nuts if you are using them in your recipe. Divide the batter evenly into pans.
Bake for 45-50 minutes for a full loaf pan and 30-40 minutes for the mini loaves. Check by inserting toothpick. When it comes out clean, your loaf is done! Allow to cool slightly & serve warm (with butter for best taste).
