Description

Apple Zucchini Bread is a delightful treat that combines moist zucchini and fresh apples with warming spices. It’s easy to make, incredibly flavorful, and makes for a cozy snack or quick breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon for apples
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar for apples
  • 1/3 cup (67g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (150g) shredded zucchini
  • 1 heaping cup (125g) peeled and chopped apple
  • optional: coarse sparkling sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well and combine with the dry ingredients, adding in the zucchini.
  4. Gently mix until just combined. Toss the apples with the tablespoon of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon, then fold them into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. After 30 minutes, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Check if done with a toothpick.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 1 hour before transferring to a cooling rack for complete cooling.
  7. Store covered at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For a sweet topping, sprinkle coarse sparkling sugar on top before baking.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing.
Storing the bread properly helps maintain its moisture.
