I made Zucchini bread today. I really love zucchini bread. Yummmmm…
But I was looking over my tried and true (and really, really loved) recipe and noticed WHY I love it so much. There is a lot of sugar and oil in it so I decided as a challenge I would try and make it healthier.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a good sugar filled bread, so I plan on keeping my old recipe. But I thought perhaps if I could figure out how to make it healthier I could enjoy more slices without feeling more guilty. Hehe!
So, I looked over the recipe did the following:
- doubled the amount of grated zucchini
- replaced the oil with unsweetened applesauce
- cut the brown sugar in 1/2
- added 1/4 cup more flour
- and ended up adding 20 min. to the bake time
And guess what? It turned out delicious! Yippie!
It looks delicious. I’ll have to try it when I find my frozen zucchini (which I know is somewhere in the freezer).
