Ingredients

2 eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup applesauce
1 ½ cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ½ cups shredded zucchini
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ cup chopped pecans (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs with the oil. Stir in the applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla, molasses, and honey. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; combine with applesauce mixture until just moistened. Finally, stir in the zucchini and nuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 1 hour in preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
