Instructions
Grease two loaf pans and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
It's easiest to grate the zucchini and carrot using a food processor, but a hand held box grater will work just as well. Just takes more elbow grease. Be sure to pack your measuring cups when you measure the grated vegetables.
In large bowl, whisk together ground flax seeds and water. Allow to sit for a few moments while you assemble the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder cinnamon and nutmeg. (Confession, I never measure the nutmeg, I grate mine fresh from the pods. So I stop when it looks like enough).
To the flax seed mixture, add oil, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk well. Add zucchini; stir until combined.
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined.
Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
