Zucchini Bread with Dried Cranberries

I got another zucchini recipe for ya today. This one is a zucchini bread with dried cranberries. The recipe comes from Two Peas and A Pod. She took a recipe she already had but altered it to include whole wheat flour, applesauce, and the dried cranberries.

So this is a healthier version of a zucchini bread for you. You can also sprinkle to top with some cinnamon sugar before you bake it if you’d like. It gives it a nice crunchy top. This bread is delicious. The sweet spicy bread is complimented with with the slight tartness from the cranberries. The little bit of cloves is also a nice addition. Thanks Maria it was delicious!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and set aside. Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater (to yield 1 3/4 cups); set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and eggs.
2. Into a small bowl, sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Add flour
   mixture to egg mixture, and stir to combine well. Stir in grated zucchini and dried cranberries.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture-if you wish. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack, then re-invert, top side up. Cool completely before slicing.
