Zucchini Bread

Today I created a brand new healthy Zucchini Bread or Muffin Recipe. It turned out great!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 c. grated zucchini (1 medium zucchini)

1/4 c. grated apple (1 small apple)

3 eggs

1/4 c. plain yogurt

1/2 c. applesauce

1/2 c. canola oil

1/2 c. brown sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

1 can crushed pineapple (8 oz, undrained)

Mix above ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk dry ingredients together:

1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour

1 c. whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cinnamon

3/4 tsp. salt

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and fold until just combined.

This will make 1 large loaf of bread or about 20 muffins. Spray pan with cooking spray or use muffin cups. I filled muffin tins with batter almost to the very top. Bake at 350* for 20 minutes, turning 1/2 way through baking time. When they are done, Muffins will pop back up when pressed with a fingertip. or you could insert toothpick and if it comes out clean, it's done. Baking a bread loaf will take much longer. About 35-40 minutes.

Also turn loaf 1/2 way through baking time.

This is not a very sweet bread, so if you'd like, for some extra sweetness & crunch, you could top with sparkling sugar after baking: once cooled, spritz muffin or bread with water & top with the sparkling sugar.

Enjoy!
