sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: applesauce

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Applesauce reduces fat while keeping moisture.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: chopped oats

Seeds are nut-free and add crunch.

Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray.

Shred the zucchini using a grater and place it onto a towel to remove excess moisture.

Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups of shredded zucchini, loosely packed, and dry it off by pressing it with the towel.

In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients: eggs, yogurt, applesauce, sugar replacement, vinegar, vanilla, and almond extract. Whisk until well combined.

In a larger bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly incorporated.

Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to allow the vinegar to react with the baking powder and baking soda.
