Description

A healthy zucchini bread, using whole wheat flour, a minimal amount of oil, and brown sugar. Very easy to make—I do the measuring and my pre-schooler does the mixing! Makes 2 loaves.

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Eggs
  • ¼ cups Vegetable Oil
  • ½ cups Applesauce (unsweetened)
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1-⅔ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups Grated Zucchini
  • 3 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cups Raisins
  • ½ cups Chopped Walnuts

Preparation

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add oil, applesauce, vanilla, brown sugar and zucchini. Stir well to combine. Blend in flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in raisins and walnuts.

Grease and flour two loaf pans. Evenly pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 325 F for one hour. Cool for 10 minutes in pans, then turn out onto racks and cool completely. Each loaf makes 16 pieces.

Excellent for freezing.

You can substitute other nuts or chocolate chips for the raisins and walnuts, or leave them out entirely! You can add up to 2 additional cups of grated zucchini to this recipe, depending on your mood. If using frozen grated zucchini, drain it well.

Very good. I substituted barley flour and left out raisins (we’re not big fans) and walnuts (didn’t have any) and still yummy. I made them as mini muffins, got 32 out of the batch…and if my figgering is correct…they are less than 1 WW point each! With a tsp of butter…around 1.5!

Yummy! I love baking with applesauce which is what attracted me to this recipe after browsing through many others. I didn’t have any wheat flour, so I used unbleached all purpose and 4 C. zucchini (I over grated) and added a pinch of nutmeg. Will definitely make this recipe again and I already passed it on to my girlfriend! Thanks

This is excellent! I was searching for a healthy version of zucchini bread and this caught my eye. It is so tasty toasted and spread with a bit of butter. My husband and toddler love it as well.

an incredible healthy recipe. i was worried about how the texture of the bread would turn out as it only uses whole wheat flour. it’s the bread to feed your kids in the morning, i have a 1 year old and a 2 year old and they both like it.
i would start checking the bread after 30-40 minutes. the recipe says 1 hr but i pulled mine out at 45 and it was a tiny bit overdone.
