- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup wheat bran (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
- Mix flour, wheat bran, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment. Beat brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; fold in zucchini. Pour zucchini mixture into flour mixture and mix well; pour into prepared loaf pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool bread in pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes; remove bread from pans and completely cool.
