Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper and/or spray with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the egg, applesauce, pancake syrup, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps.

Step 3

Add the flour and the protein powder and fold with a spatula just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix! Mixing the batter too much or too vigorously can result in dense, flat bread.

Step 4

Add zucchini and stir just until combined.

Step 5

Pour batter in prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove and place the pan on a wire cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
