Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini about 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Additions
  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Stir in the shredded zucchini, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover it with foil.
  3. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Slice and enjoy! Serve warm or at room temperature. Delicious on its own or with butter or cream cheese.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini before adding it to the batter for better texture. Use fresh spices for best flavor.
