Ingredients

3 cups grated zucchini
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 2 8x4-inch loaf pans or 2 12-cup muffin pans.
Place the zucchini in a strainer and set aside to drain into a bowl or sink.
Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture; combine the applesauce, vanilla, eggs, butter, walnuts, and drained zucchini in the center of the well. Mix until all ingredients are combined into a batter; pour into the loaf pans.
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour for loaves or 25 minutes for muffins. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will result in a moister bread.
Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too watery.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dry bread.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

With its moist texture and sweet flavor, zucchini bread is a surefire hit with people of all ages. So next time you have some extra zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
