Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 1 ½ cup sugar

  • 2 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside. Combine 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon; set aside.

Add remaining sugar, the applesauce, butter, and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture, beating on low speed just until combined. Stir in zucchini, nuts, and raisins. Spoon into prepared pan. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture.
