Healthy Zucchini Bread Recipe

Yields: 1 loaf

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 50-60 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated zucchini (use Nella's sharpest grater for efficient prep)
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1/4 cup raisins or cranberries (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep your zucchini: Grate the zucchini using your grater for perfect results. Squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup, applesauce, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract using a spatula for even mixing.
4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini, walnuts, and raisins (if using) with a Nella silicone spatula.
5. Bake: Pour batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This zucchini bread is not only delicious but also a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables. Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter or as a healthy snack on the go. And remember, with the right cutlery tools, baking this treat becomes a truly enjoyable experience.
