Vegan Zucchini Bread

Langkah-langkah

1. Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, and line with parchment paper. Allow the two opposite sides of the parchment to overhang the edges of the pan (like handles). Grease again.
2. Make the flax eggs by stirring together the flaxseed meal and water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to thicken.
3. Grate and measure the zucchini, then thoroughly squeeze it with a paper towel to remove as much excess water as possible. Repeat as needed so that the zucchini is as dry as possible.
4. In a large mixing bowl, briskly whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the coconut oil resolidifies, gently warm it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, then stir until smooth. Add the flax eggs. Then mix again until combined.
5. Sprinkle the cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt over the top of the batter, then mix to combine. Sprinkle in the flour, then with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir just until the flour disappears. Fold in the zucchini and nuts.
6. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. If you'd like, you can also sprinkle a few extra nuts over the top.
7. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 additional minutes. Use the parchment handles to lift the loaf from the pan and onto a cutting board. Slice with a sharp serrated knife. Enjoy!
