Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Bread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, unpeeled)
- 1 cup peeled and diced apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and diced apple until evenly distributed in the mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
