Zucchini bread

Made this for the Christmas sing-along at Ken and Tina's house. started with this recipe and modified to make more healthy. My final ingredient list is (updated on 6/18/2010):

  • 3.25 cups flour (one cup of this was whole wheat)
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups applesauce
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes for the small loaf pan and 50-55 for the larger loaf pan.

Review for 2nd attempt:
  • perfect consistency: not dry like previous time
  • still plenty sweet.  Try reducing sugar to 1/2 cup next time
  • both loaves stuck to their pans again (rubbed with plenty of vegetable oil).  Try using butter next time?

Review for 1st attempt:
  • Was a tiny bit dry: be very careful to not over cook; maybe use more applesauce?
  • Stuck to bottom of pan: be liberal with the application of grease to the pan
  • Perhaps replace the water with more Apple sauce?
