Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed of excess moisture)
- 1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and shredded
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your 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, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded zucchini, shredded carrots, shredded apple, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve. Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. This bread also freezes well for longer storage.
Notes
- Squeeze excess moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent a soggy bread.
- Tent the bread with aluminum foil if it browns too quickly during baking.
- This bread freezes well for longer storage.
