Vegan zucchini bread for a sweet seasonal treat on Meatless Monday

Categories: Meatless Monday

zucchini-bread-final.jpg
There are so many monster zucchini ready to harvest in our garden that we're planning to make zucchini bread. A lot of it. And take it to friends and coworkers. And probably complete strangers. This vegan recipe (adapted for mile-high altitude from The Joy of Vegan Baking) is moist and delicious. And the sugar and oil it it ensures that it'll never be mistaken for health food -- and that people will actually eat it.

You will need:
2 cups grated zucchini (about 1/4 to 1/3 of that behemoth in the photo; it measures out to about 240 grams)
3 tablespoons egg replacement powder (or equivalent of 3 eggs)
9 tablespoons water
1 cup oil (or 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce)
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Splash of non-dairy milk (coconut is preferable)

We highly recommend a food processor (with a grating attachment) for this recipe so that you don't give up before you even finish grating the zucchini!
