Pin ItHow to Make Zucchini Bread with Applesauce
- Mix it: Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Beat it: Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale. Add the vanilla extract, apple sauce, and oil and beat until well-mixed.
- Make the batter: Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and beat until just mixed. Fold in the shredded zucchini. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
Freezing and Thawing Instructions
To Freeze: Zucchini bread freezes really well if prepared properly. Before freezing the bread, cut it into slices, and then wrap the whole thing in plastic wrap. Freeze for up to three months. You can take out one slice at a time without defrosting the whole bread.
To Thaw: You can remove the whole loaf or just a slice. If you remove the whole loaf, leave it wrapped and let it sit on the counter for one to two hours or until fully defrosted. If you remove only a slice, you can leave it on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour or pop it in the toaster to defrost it quickly.
