Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil (240ml)
- ½ cup applesauce (120g)
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar (450g)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (440g)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 cups grated zucchini (360g)
- 1 ½ cups coarsely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray two 8x4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, applesauce, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat until creamy and light.
- Add the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and zucchini. Stir to combine, scraping the sides and bottom of bowl as necessary. Stir in chopped walnuts.
- Pour the zucchini bread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans and bake for 50-60 minutes at 325°F, being careful not to overbake it. You can test for doneness by inserting a sharp knife into the middle of a loaf and checking to see whether it comes out clean.
- Remove the loaves of zucchini bread from the pans and allow to cool on a wire rack, then store in ziploc bags.

Notes
- Storage
- Store: Keep your zucchini bread at room temperature in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Wrap the loaf or individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in freezer bags. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw slices at room temperature or microwave for 20-30 seconds. You can also toast them directly from the freezer for a crispier texture.
