Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prep Oven and Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 9-inch loaf pan.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine sugar, maple syrup, applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and plant milk. Stir until smooth.

Step 4: Combine Batter
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini and any optional add-ins. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Bake
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
