Plus, applesauce is used to help reduce the amount of oil added to the recipe. The tricky part is ensuring that each slice has a tender crumb, that isn’t too dry.

Easy Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread
When zucchini is in season, make sure to grab some to make this delicious treat! The natural moisture in the vegetable helps the bread from becoming overly dry, especially when using whole wheat flour and alternative butter substitutes for baking.
It may seem strange to add vegetables into a sweet pastry. However, the flavor of zucchini is very neutral and infuses well with other ingredients. In this recipe, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries add exciting and tasty elements to the bread.
This recipe makes for two tasty loaves of zucchini bread, and I promise, people will be delighted to have a slice or two. As you can see, the baking soda gives a beautiful domed top to the bread, providing extra lift during the baking process.
Healthy Zucchini Bread Recipe
If you’re looking to cut some of the fat content from the recipe, applesauce can be an excellent healthy substitute. It provides some structure to the bread and fibers to help with binding the moisture. I would not recommend higher than 50% replacement when using whole wheat flour, because it can become dry.
Whole wheat flour gives you more grains, but since the bran, germ and fiber are ground and left in the meal, additional moisture is needed. The vegetables, fruit, oil, and humectants like brown sugar help to keep the bread tender. White whole wheat has a more mild flavor and lighter color in the baked product, so I often use it in my recipes.
It’s hard to resist waiting until the bread cools before cutting off a piece to enjoy! The warm spices, crunchy pecans, and tangy cranberries are an irresistible combination of flavors. It’s a lovely breakfast with a hot cup of chai latte, a quick snack, or dessert to end your meal.

The right balance of moisture, oil, sugars, and flour will produce a tender bread. However, if using whole wheat flour, allow the batter to rest 10 minutes before baking, 30 minutes max. Thisprocess allows the liquid in the batter to permeate the bran and the germ, softening it before baking, which will result in a more moist bread.
