Equipment
- bread machine
- bread knife
- bread storage bags

Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup honey
- 1 ½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Bread Machine
- Spray the bread pan with oil. Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed, except for walnuts.
- Set machine to the "quick bread" function. Choose the 1 pound loaf option and crust color preference. Press start. *If your machine does not have a quick bread cycle, check your manual for the comparable setting.
- When the batter is done mixing, remove the kneading paddle and top with walnuts if using.
- When the baking cycle is complete, transfer bread to a wire rack to cool for at 15 minutes before slicing
By Hand
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients (including the zucchini). Add the bowl of wet ingredients to the dry and mix just to combine.
- Pour into a greased bread pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Ovens vary greatly, so start checking it with a toothpick at the 45 minute mark. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
