Tips:

  • Grate the zucchini: Use a box grater to grate the zucchini. Make sure to grate it finely so that it blends well into the batter.
  • Measure the applesauce: Use a measuring cup to measure the applesauce. Do not pack the applesauce into the measuring cup, as this will result in too much applesauce in the batter.
  • Mix the batter in the correct order: Follow the recipe instructions and mix the batter in the correct order. This will ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and that the batter is properly mixed.
  • Bake the loaf at the correct temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the loaf. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, so be sure to check the recipe instructions.
