In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, applesauce, olive oil and vanilla.
Once combined, pour this into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Divide the olive oil zucchini bread batter among the two prepared pans. (about 3 cups per pan)
Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a tester comes back clean with only a few crumbs still attached.
Allow zucchini bread to cool in the pans for 20 minutes before carefully removing, transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Slice and serve with butter.

Notes

How To Freeze Zucchini Bread:

Once the zucchini bread has completely cooled, double wrap a single loaf in plastic wrap, then wrap tightly with foil. I like to use a sharpie and mark the day and the year on the outside as well.
