½ tsp salt

1 flax egg (or other substitute)

½ cup light brown sugar, or maple syrup *see note*

5 TBS unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

Up to 4 tbsp water, as needed.

1 ½ cups shredded zucchini

Mix flour, baking powder, spices and salt together. Make Flax egg and mix it with the sugar, applesauce, lemon juice, and vanilla. Pour wet into dry, add zucchini and stir until just combined. Add addition water, if needed. Pour into pan of choice (loaf, donut, or muffin tin). Bake 40 to 50 minutes for loaf or 10 to 15 for donut/muffins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
