This is my absolute favorite zucchini bread recipe! I get requests for it all the time!

This is a nice tasting, moist bread that would go well in the morning or as a dessert later in the day! Did use my preferred chunky applesauce for this recipe, & also used a fine grate for the zucchini & carrots! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
