In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, oil, sugar, zucchini, and vanilla in a bowl. Then add the remaining ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes.
Notes
No need to drain the zucchini: It adds the perfect amount of liquid into the batter.
Don’t over-mix the batter: Otherwise, you risk overworking the gluten and affecting the texture and rise. A few lumps in the batter are fine.
Leave it to cool: This eggless zucchini bread will be fragile right out of the oven. It’s best to leave it to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, remove it from the pan, and cool completely before slicing to avoid it falling apart.
