Description
Sweet and spiced carrot zucchini bread recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 2 medium)
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated carrots, grated zucchini, and optional chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Optional: Add a cream cheese frosting after the bread has cooled.
