Author Notes
This recipe highlights undoubtedly one of many beneficial suggestions my mother taught me: substitute applesauce for oil. It doesn’t work with every single recipe, however it works superbly with this bread. I contain the utilization of applesauce makes this more flavorful and, for sure, rather more healthy. I get this bread at the least once per week when fresh zucchini is on hand. It is miles a dish that resonates with adults and teenagers alike. Really, this become undoubtedly one of many fundamental strong foods I fed my daughter. Showcase*: I edited the quantity oil in this recipe according to solutions from a Food52 user. I agreed along with her evaluation and now spend less and don’t atomize up the batter up between two pans. —Kelsey Banfield

Will enjoy to you’re grating the zucchini, make certain to leave the pores and skin on and spend the natty holes of your field grater to put the undoubtedly texture.
