Servings: persons

3 whole Eggs
1/4 cups Canola Oil
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 cups Apple Sauce, Naturally Sweetened
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoons Bourbon
2 cups Zucchini, Shredded, About 3 Whole Zucchini
2-1/2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9x5 loaf pan with butter spray.
2
2. In a stand mixer, beat the eggs, oil, and sugars until light and thick, a few minutes. Add the applesauce, orange zest, vanilla, and bourbon and beat until combined.

3. Place the shredded zucchini in a kitchen towel (or a stack of paper towels), and gently squeeze out any excess moisture. Stir the squash into the wet mixture.

4. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and mix until just barely combined. Don't overmix! Gently fold in the pecans and cinnamon chips if using.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-75 minutes, until a cake tester (i.e. toothpick!) comes out clean. It's a good idea to rotate the pan halfway through.

6. When it's cool enough to handle, turn the bread out onto a cooling rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

Note: I ended up with a bit of extra batter, so I filled about 2 muffin cups with the extra, and pulled them out after about 30-40 minutes. They're great for testing for poison while your bread is cooling!!

Optional: You can always swap All-Purpose flour with the whole wheat.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
