A delicious and easy to make zucchini bread recipe.

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil butter or coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup agave nectar maple syrup, honey or sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Add in the zucchini and half of the walnuts (if using) and gently fold in.

  • Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

* Note on Flour - you can also use whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour or a mix of them. I find that white whole wheat flour works great for baked goods and is still loaded with all the benefits of whole wheat flour (read more here). You can also make this gluten free by switching out the flour for a gluten free mix.
