Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut oil melted
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup granulated sugar or pure cane sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup grated zucchini
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp +1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease two 8X4" or 9x5" loaf pans (I prefer PAM baking spray), set aside.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the coconut oil, applesauce, sugars, egg whites, and vanilla. Add zucchini and fold with a spatula.
In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients, stir just until combined (note: the batter will be pretty thick).
Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing evenly. Top with nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes (if using 9x5 pans) or 55-60 minutes (if using 8x4 pans) or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pans for 20 minutes before removing and allowing to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

-You can also swirl a bit of Nutella into the tops of the loaves for a more decadent bread!
