Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Generously butter and lightly flour two 8”x4” loaf pans or muffin tins. In a medium bowl, combined flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Using a hand mixer, beat eggs, applesauce, oil, sugar and vanilla extract. Mix very well. Slowly add the dry ingredients (about 1/3 at a time) mixing as you go – then beat well to fully combine. With a rubber scraper or wooden spoon, stir in shredded zucchini and nuts into the batter and mix well. Pour half of the batter into each prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out cleanly.
