Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, add the grated zucchini, sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until no dry flour remains, trying not to over mix.
