Vegan Zucchini Bread

nonstick cooking spray

1 cup zucchini(finely shredded)

6 tablespoons canola oil

¾ cup light brown sugar(packed)

¼ cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup nondairy milk

1 tbsp flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed)

¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

½ tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Press the shredded zucchini between two layers of paper towels to remove the moisture. Add the zucchini, canola oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, nondairy milk, flaxseed meal, applesauce, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until smooth and combined.

Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake the bread on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes.

Check to see that the bread is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release from the pan onto a cooling rack.

Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Leftover bread may be stored in a large zip-top plastic bag at room temperature for 1 day, in the refrigerator for 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 💧
Grate zucchini and salt it generously, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel after 10 minutes to prevent a soggy bread and ensure proper texture.
Flax Egg Activation ⏱️
Mix flaxseed meal with nondairy milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to create a proper egg substitute that binds ingredients and improves crumb structure.
Brown Sugar Depth 🎨
Use a combination of granulated and light brown sugar as specified—the molasses in brown sugar amplifies those cinnamon flavors and adds moisture to keep the bread tender.
Spice Bloom Technique 🌟
Whisk cinnamon and nutmeg together with a tablespoon of oil before mixing into dry ingredients to distribute spices evenly and intensify their aromatic profile throughout the bread.
Oven Temperature Accuracy 🌡️
Use an oven thermometer to verify your oven's true temperature—vegan breads are sensitive to heat fluctuations, and accurate temperature ensures even browning and proper rise without overbaking.
