Vegan Zucchini Bread
This Vegan Zucchini Bread is moist, delicious, and perfectly fluffy. Super easy to make in one bowl, and easy to make gluten-free too!
Equipment
- cheese grater
- 9 x 5 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (sub gluten-free if desired)
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- ½ cup white sugar*
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ⅔ cup applesauce
- ⅓ cup oil
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cardamom
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grate a small zucchini into a large mixing bowl. There is no need to squeeze out the extra liquid from the zucchini for this recipe as it helps keep the bread perfectly moist.
- Add the sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract into a large bowl and mix until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt to the mixing bowl. Mix only until there are no streaks of flour left.
- Transfer the mixture to a lightly-oiled bread pan and spread with a silicone spatula until it is evenly distributed.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
* A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan, make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.
- Not Vegan? Replace 1/3 cup of applesauce with 1 egg or replace the oil with melted butter.
- Oil-free? Replace the oil with equal parts applesauce (in addition to the applesauce the recipe calls for).
- Gluten-free? Swap a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour, and you're all set!
- Using Mix-ins? Add them in when mixing the wet ingredients.
