Zucchini Nut bread

This zucchini nut bread came out moist and flavorful. It made our home smell amazing too!

When measuring the grated zucchini, I didn’t pack it in the measuring cup. Also, I didn’t bother squeezing any of the liquid out with a cloth or paper towel.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 3 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 C. milk
• 1/2 C. melted butter, unsalted
• 1/2 C. unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 C. brown sugar
• 1/2 C. granulated sugar
• 3 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 C. grated zucchini
• 1 C. chopped walnuts

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and grease and flour 2 (9×5 inch) bread pans.
2. Stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
3. In a larger bowl, beat together eggs, milk, melted butter, applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Add the dry-ingredient mixture and beat well. Stir in zucchini and walnuts/chocolate chips. Pour batter into pans.
4. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for about 20 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
