Skinnier Zucchini Bread

Skinnier zucchini bread – made with applesauce and less sugar so you can indulge in that second or third slice. A deliciously easy quick bread!

Don’t we always need more ways to use up zucchini?

Or is it just me?

This applesauce zucchini bread is a great way to bake with it!

Even though zucchini is apparently one of the easiest things to grow, I still have not mastered growing zucchini (or really anything, for that matter) in my container garden.

The lack of green in my garden always led me to think I needed to buy more zucchini each time I went to the store, and like 99% of the population I ended up with way too much of it.

Nobody warned me that it is never ending and you will always, always have too much.

(Okay, everybody warned me.)

Enter zucchini bread.

I told you that my bread-free days were limited, but I have a really good excuse.

Bread and I get along too well.

To make up for this fact, I did lighten up the original recipe a bit by replacing the oil with applesauce (I’ve been known to do that) and cutting out half the sugar.

Sometimes I really just can’t stand to put so much sugar into a bowl, knowing I’m probably going to eat at least half of whatever baked good it will turn into.

It’s still a cup of sugar, but remember it makes two loaves! You could try it with even less if you really want to make it low sugar.

It obviously is a bit less sweet but I like to save my sugar for more important things.

Original recipe called for nuts. I thought about adding chocolate chips but then I probably wouldn’t be able to call it healthy.

But you do you.
