Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread Recipe

This nutty and delicious Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread will have your mouth watering. Eat it whilst it’s still warm!

This weekend, I had the joy of spending time with my parents up in the White Mountains and it was absolutely beautiful! There were leaves changing color all around us, chipmunks and squirrels shimmying up and down tree trunks, birds chirping, shimmering lakes, rocky hiking trails, afternoon rainstorms, chilly temperatures, and we even found a moose-themed restaurant whose owner is just as moose-obsessed as I am!

This is time of year that kicks off baking season for me. Nothing says comfort like spending time in the cool weather outside, then walking into a house that smells like sweet, vanilla-y fresh baked bread. And because this bread uses white wheat flour, it’s more nutritious and it keeps you full longer than breads made with all white flour do.

Quick and easy

And it’s quick and easy to throw together! Combine all of your wet ingredients in one bowl. I use applesauce to cut down on the oil used and honey as a more wholesome alternative to sugar.

Then combine all of your dry ingredients in another bowl.

Mix the two together…

And just after it’s combined, stir in your raisins and walnuts.

Then all that’s left to do is bake! And fill your house with wafting vanilla and cinnamon. Your mouth will water and you will be counting down to the timer ringing, just thinking about the warm, soft bread with crunchy nuts and plump raisins that awaits you.

Which is a good thing, because you definitely want to eat this zucchini bread while it’s still warm. I mean, it’s still amazing after it cools off, but warm sweet bread straight from the oven? You don’t want to miss out on that.

And, if you ask me, the middle tastes the best, but I’m a middle piece girl, so I’m slightly biased.

My advice on this Sunday evening? Go. Bake. Be merry.
