Mom's Zucchini Bread Recipe

Now of course I like to tweak things.  I use 2 cups of white whole wheat flour and only 1 cup of regular AP flour.  I use half a cup of oil and a half cup of unsweetened applesauce.  I reduce the sugar to 1.5 cups of brown sugar, and if I'm adding mini chocolate chips, I'll take it down to 1 cup.  You can add as much as 3 cups of zucchini, so if you have a little over the 2 cups don't sweat it.  I also find it needs a bit longer than the 55 minutes.

You can also make them as muffins.  Bake for 30 minutes instead of 60.

**Tip - Those little cups of applesauce like you send in your kid's lunch bag are great to keep in your pantry for baking.  They don't need refrigeration, and one of the little cups is exactly a half cup!
