Zucchini Bread

Being unemployed is difficult. I have no motivation to leave the house. Or the couch. I'm very depressed. 

One way i've been using to combat my depression and loneliness is to bake a loaf of zucchini bread! I've never actually had zucchini bread before so I was intrigued by it. What does it taste like? Is it sweet? Is it savory? Does it simply taste like zucchini? 

Zucchini Bread 


2 small zucchinis, grated 
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 tbs baking soda
1/2 tbs baking powder 
1/2 tbs ground cinnamon
1/3 C walnuts
1/3 C oil 
2 eggs 
3/4 C sugar 
3 Tbsp apple sauce 

Preheat oven to 350. 

Grate zucchini and squeeze out any excess liquid. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon). 

In a separate large bowl, cream oil, eggs, sugar and applesauce using a hand mixer. 

Mix together wet and dry ingredients, fold in zucchini and walnuts. 

Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until it can be stabbed with wooden objects and come out clean. 

Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes, take out of loaf pan and let cool for an additional 20 minutes.
