Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup 122g of unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoon 42g honey
  • 2 tablespoon 40g molasses
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups 360g whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup 60g walnuts – ground
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 medium zucchini shredded 1 cup about 200g
  • 1 20 oz can crushed pineapple drained

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Open the can of pineapple and place in a metal strainer in the sink to remove some of the juice while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  • In large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the applesauce, honey, molasses, vanilla and beat until foamy and then beat some more. :~)
    3 eggs, ½ cup 122g of unsweetened applesauce, 2 tablespoon 42g honey, 2 tablespoon 40g molasses, 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Ground the walnuts in a blender or food processor. Don't over process the oil in them will start to stick.
  • In another bowl, mix the ground walnuts, flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    3 cups 360g whole wheat flour, ½ cup 60g walnuts – ground, 2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Stir the shredded zucchini and drained pineapple into the egg mixture.
    1 medium zucchini shredded, 1 20 oz can crushed pineapple drained
  • Add the dry ingredient to the wet and stir until just blended. The batter makes 2 large loafs or 6 mini loaves. You can even make 1 large and 3 small or 24 muffins
  • What ever you decide be sure to spray with non-stick cooking spray and dust with a bit of flour.
  • Bake the large loaves for about an hour, small loaves for around 40 minutes. Muffins probably half that (I'll update when I do it). A toothpick inserted should come out clean when it's done.
