Zapped Zucchini


I'm a HUGE fan of zucchini bread, and for some reason, it always reminds me of summer. Since the weather is getting warmer, here's my twist on a classic. It's not quite as good as the traditional kind, but it's a welcome treat when you live in a dorm.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups raw grated zucchini
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or walnuts (optional)

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, blend eggs with sugar. Add oil and zucchini, stirring to blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into microwave-safe pan. (Glass works best!) Microwave on High for 8-10 minutes. Bread looks dry and begins to pull away from side when cooked. Cool 10 minutes.
