Carrot Zucchini Bread
This bread is moist, flavorful, and packed with all the good stuff. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some veggies! You won’t even know you’re eating them!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar (or brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
- ½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions to Whip This Up:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a loaf pan and grease it lightly or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and carrots. Make sure they’re well squeezed to remove excess moisture – you want your bread to rise, not be soggy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Now, in another bowl, beat the eggs before adding sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined!
- Pour this wet mixture over the grated veggies and give it a good stir. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Don’t over-mix – we want that bread to be light and fluffy.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Pop it in the oven and let it bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, take it out and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice it up and enjoy this sweet treat with a cup of tea or coffee!
And there you have it, a wonderfully moist and tasty Carrot Zucchini Bread that makes for a perfect snack or a delightful breakfast. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy! Get your bake on!
