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, plus 1/8 teaspoon 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, plus 1 tablespoon 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 the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk the oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined in another bowl.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and add the shredded zucchini.
  5. Gently mix until just combined.
  6. Toss the chopped apples with the tablespoon of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon, then fold them into the batter.
  7. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes.
  8. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 1 hour, then transfer to a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and consider adding nuts for extra crunch.
