Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

2 medium apples, peeled and grated (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the Zucchini and Apples: In a large bowl, grate the zucchinis and apples. After grating, place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the bake from becoming soggy.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and apple mixture along with the nuts if using. Ensure everything is fully incorporated, but do not overmix.

            Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. This dish pairs wonderfully with a dollop of yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
