Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or applesauce for 1/2 the oil)
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup apple, diced and peeled
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Prep: Grease two 8 x 4 inch pans or 6 mini loaf plans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater and set aside. Peel 1 medium apple, then slice and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
  • In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and sugars together.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  • Add the zucchini and apples to the bread batter, along with the nuts, and stir until well combined. Let the batter sit 5 minutes, then pour the batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake: Place bread into the oven and bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. My mini-loaf pans take about 35-40 minutes. Large sized loaves take about 55 minutes.
  • When done cooking, cool in the pan on rack a for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool. Enjoy!
