Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan or line with parchment.
- In a medium bowl, stir flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add maple syrup and zucchini, stir until well blended. Stir in oil, applesauce and vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir together until just blended (don't over mix). Gently stir in chopped walnuts or whatever mix-ins you're using.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove loaf from pans and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- Chocolate chips are an awesome addition to this bread if you want a little chocolate. Add 1/3 cup to the recipe or use 1/2 cup chocolate chips in place of the walnuts.
