1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 3 mini-loaf pans.

Step 2

Beat zucchini, agave nectar, egg, coconut oil, applesauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest together with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl; mix into zucchini mixture until batter is just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
