Preheat the oven to 350 F, and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder until combined. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Add in the flour mixture, and mix until almost combined. Fold in the oats and shredded zucchini. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 32-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the loaf cool completely before adding frosting. For the frosting: In a bowl, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese until light and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Beat until creamy. Add more powdered sugar if too liquidy and milk if too thick! Spread frosting on top of the cooled loaf!
