Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini

  • ½ cup agave nectar, or more to taste

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup coconut oil

  • ¼ cup applesauce

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 3 mini-loaf pans.

  2. Beat zucchini, agave nectar, egg, coconut oil, applesauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest together with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl; mix into zucchini mixture until batter is just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool bread in pans for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
