The BEST Zucchini Bread

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce (or you can just increase the oil to 1 cup)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups grated & drained zucchini
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Beat together eggs until light and frothy. Mix in oil, apple sauce & sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda & powder, salt and nuts; stir into egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.

Topping (optional... but totally necessary!)
Combine:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Sprinkle on top of loaves, slightly pressing into batter.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until done.
