  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus 1/8 teaspoon for apples
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tbsp for apples
  • 1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups shredded zucchini (no need to blot)
  • 1 heaping cup peeled and chopped apple
  • optional: coarse sparkling sugar, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and add the zucchini.
  4. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing. Coat the apples with the remaining sugar and cinnamon and fold them into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes. After 30 minutes, loosely cover with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Check with a toothpick for doneness.
  6. Once baked, cool the bread in the pan for 1 hour before transferring to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely for neat slices.
  7. Store covered at room temperature for 5 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Notes

For added flavor, you can sprinkle some nuts or raisins into the batter before baking.
The bread can be enjoyed warm or cold, and it’s delightful with a spread of cream cheese or butter.
To ensure even baking, rotate your loaf pan midway through the baking process.
