Apple Zucchini Bread

I don't know about you but year after year of too much zucchini has left me a little burnt out on regular old zucchini bread so this year I have experimented a little and come up with a couple of new (picky-eater-approved) zucchini bread recipes.  The first is an Apple zucchini bread.  This bread is moist, flavorful and easy to make and eat!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 3 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 2 cups grated granny smith apple
• 1 cup walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the oil, sugars and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the zucchini, walnuts and apples.
2. Transfer to three greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
