Zucchini Loaves with Rye

About
I like this recipe because there is very little oil in it and a lot of zucchini. I always make it with regular flour, but adjusted it to rye flour when my sister-in-law came to visit as she is allergic to wheat and milk. It worked beautifully. Also, if you grow your own zucchinis it is a great way to use them up when they are in season. Makes 2 loaves.

Can you use Applesauce in place of oil or is it too wet with the Zuchinni? I use Applesauce in place of oils when I bake cakes.
Sorry for my slow reply! It’s probably long past when you wanted to try this recipe, but I’ll answer anyway. Applesauce would probably work OK – just be aware that changes can affect the final outcome. If you want to be more cautious you could try replacing half the oil with applesauce (1/8 cup oil + 1/8 cup applesauce.) An eighth of a cup is the same as two tablespoons. If you want to guard against too much moisture, consider reducing the amount of zucchini. Good luck!
