Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups white flour
• 2 cups wheat flour
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 3/4 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 tablespoon salt
• 1/4 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, sift together the white flour, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
   • Add the oil and applesauce to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly.

3. Incorporate Zucchini:

   • Stir in the shredded zucchini and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.

4. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures:

   • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Prepare Pans:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Spray 2-3 loaf pans (2 1/2″x9″) with non-stick cooking spray, depending on the desired size of your loaves.

6. Bake:

   • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

7. Cool:

   • Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and let them cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes.
   • Use a knife to loosen the sides of the bread, then invert the pans to release the loaves onto the cooling rack.
