Applesauce Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups white sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup shredded zucchini
• 1 cup applesauce
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two loaf pans.

Combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.

Combine eggs, sugar, and oil in another bowl and mix until blended. Add zucchini, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix into dry ingredients until well blended; stir in pecans. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
