Ingredients

3 cups (Heaping) Grated Zucchini
3 whole Eggs
1/2 cups Vegetable Or Canola Oil
1/2 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
1-1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups White Flour
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cups Flax Seed (ground)
3 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoons Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 cup Chocolate Chips, Dried Cranberries, Walnuts (optional)

Directions

1

1. Grate the zucchini using a large grater. (The amount of zucchini is very flexible, so don't get to concerned if you have 3 1/2 or even 4 cups of zucchini.)
2

2. In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, oil, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

3. Slowly add the dry ingredients in 3 batches. If you don't have ground flax seed you don't need to add it, simply add an additional 1/2 cup of either white or wheat flour. You can also adjust the amounts of whole and white flours, the total amount must equal 3 cups of some type of flour (either flax, white, or wheat).

4. After all the ingredients have been mixed by hand, add the zucchini and any chocolate chips or dried fruit.

5. Grease 2 large loaf pans or line and grease a muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 350°F. The amount of time depends on whether you choose to make loaves or muffins. Loaves take around 60-70 minutes, muffins around 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean then they are done.
