Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper and/or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, add the egg, applesauce, pancake syrup, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps.
Add the flour and the protein powder and fold with a spatula just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix! Mixing the batter too much or too vigorously can result in dense, flat bread.
Add zucchini and stir just until combined.
Pour batter in prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove and place the pan on a wire cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
