Super Moist Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
• 1 teaspoon baking soda 
• 3 tablespoons butter melted
• 3  eggs 
• 3 cups flour all-purpose
• 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 1 cup apple sauce unsweetened
• 3 tablespoons vanilla extract 
• 1 cup walnuts chopped
• 3 cups zucchini grated

Equipment

• bowl
• oven
• wire rack
• sieve
• loaf pan
• toothpicks

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 2 8x4-inch loaf pans or 2 12-cup muffin pans.
2. Place the zucchini in a strainer and set aside to drain into a bowl or sink.
3. 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.
4. Mix until all ingredients are combined into a batter; pour into the loaf pans.
5. 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.
