Healthy Zucchini Bread made with applesauce, whole wheat flour and no oil. Enjoy this super delicious, easy and moist recipe with your surplus garden zucchini or anytime of the year for breakfast or snacks.
This recipe is a result of my local farmer’s zucchini season in full swing. Yay! Therefore, super easy recipe and truly healthy zucchini bread.
This recipe has no white flour, no refined sugar and no oil without sacrificing the flavor or moistness. Freshly grated zucchini and applesauce make it moist and low fat. Honey (or maple syrup) and cinnamon add a really nice flavor and keep it low sugar at same time.
Best Zucchini Bread
If you can find locally sourced zucchini during the summer season, that is the best! Otherwise, look for organic zucchini since you do not peel the zucchini and will be eating the skin.
There is no need to eat dessert for breakfast. This healthy zucchini bread is delicious and perfect as a healthy breakfast idea or to fuel your afternoon.
Combine all ingredients, except zucchini and flour, and whisk well. Mixture will be foamy and bubbly because applesauce reacts with baking soda right away.
Zucchini Banana Or Applesauce Bread (grain Free & Naturally Sweetened)
Grate zucchini on large holes or medium size holes of a box grater. The only difference is that coarsely grated zucchini will have more prominent flecks of zucchini in baked bread.
If you would rather “hide the veggies”, use medium holes. I have tried and loved both methods. Also, I do not recommend to grate or “zest” zucchini.
Do not squeeze and do not pat dry. Just pack tightly 2 cups. We want all the juices for moist and healthy whole wheat zucchini bread.
Easy Applesauce Zucchini Bread
Do not salt, squeeze or pat dry your zucchini! For this healthy quick bread with zucchini, the moisture plays a crucial role in the end result.
Add flour and stir until well mixed. I wouldn’t be too concerned with over mixing but folding ingredients into the batter gently is always a good baking practice.
Pour into a loaf pan and bake for 60 mins. Photo shows a longer and skinnier loaf pan because I like to experiment. However, regular sized 9 x 5 inches loaf pan is all you need.
Healthy Banana Bread
Please follow the recipe: I can’t stress enough that baking is a science and 99% times deviations from original recipe result in baking fails.
All-purpose flour and gluten-free flour blend may make bread dry. I would reduce to 1 3/4 cups and possibly it will work but I haven’t tried. I think you can get away with half whole wheat and half white flour, for sure.
Oat flour will not work as it will make bread gummy. However, I believe one of the readers tried successfully 50% whole wheat flour and 50% oat flour.
Healthy Apple And Zucchini Bread
While I have not tested this, some readers have reduced the sweetener to 1/2 cup with good results. The key is to keep the balance of wet to dry ingredients. So possibly, add equal amount of applesauce for reduced amount of liquid sweetener.
Also as I have more experience with baking, you can use dry monk fruit sweetener or erythritol like Lakanto. I would add more, about 1/2 cup, applesauce though. Again, please let me know if you try.
Some readers have used grated apple, mashed banana or pumpkin puree and had great results! Let me know in the comments, if this works for you.
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread
Yes. You should be able to make 14 regular sized muffins and bake at 22-25 minutes. Can also just follow this very similar healthy zucchini muffins recipe.
While most of the time, our family enjoys this bread as is fresh from the oven, here are some other fun ways to serve this best zucchini bread recipe!
Store: Quick bread dries out fast if you leave it in the open. I like to place zucchini bread in a resealable Ziploc bag and store in a pantry away from direct sunlight for up to 3 days.
Whole Wheat Cranberry Zucchini Bread
Freeze: Bake zucchini bread and cool completely. I recommend you do not slice bread before freezing. It retains its moisture better this way.
Place in a gallon size Ziploc bag, let out as much air as possible and seal. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Defrost on a counter. Takes about 3-4 hours. Zucchini bread will taste just like freshly baked. Pop it in a toaster for a minute for that freshly baked bread warmth and aromas.
Recipe: Low Fat Zucchini Spice Bread
Store: Covered or in a resealable bag in a cool dry place for up to 3 days. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost on a counter which takes about 3-4 hours.
Can I use almond flour? No because almond flour is ground up almonds and acts differently. Luckily, I have this foolproof almond flour zucchini bread recipe.

Before you begin preparing the quick bread, you need to prep the zucchini. It is an easy process, but pay attention to my tips to ensure perfect Zucchini Bread.
Whole wheat zucchini bread is very moist, therefore it can grow mold quickly if left at room temperature for more than one day.
Whole Grain Fluffy Flax Zucchini Bread
I recommend allowing your zucchini bread to cool completely, and then storing the zucchini bread in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Alternatively, you can freeze your cooled bread in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. I highly recommend wrapping the cooled bread in plastic wrap followed by foil before placing it into the freezer-safe bag, to prevent freezer burn. Defrost the bread overnight in the refrigerator and then enjoy it within 5 days.
Whole Wheat Flour: This recipe can be made using whole wheat flour, all-purpose, or whole white wheat flour. I recommend using whole white wheat, as it is still a whole grain, but bakes up lighter.

Zucchini Applesauce Bread
I just finished reading the best book! Have you read Ready Player One? I’m a little late to the game on this one, but it might be my favorite book I’ve read all year. And this summer, I am reading a lot of books.
I spent the entire weekend lounging around reading it. Could not put it down! It’s set in the future, and this billionaire who dies leaves his entire fortune to whoever can solve this gigantic mystery puzzle. If you solve it first, you win all of his money.
I finished the book last night, but then I couldn’t go to bed because I started fantasizing about what I would do if I won a billion dollars. Can you even imagine? I’d be as rich as Oprah!
