Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and diced apple until evenly distributed in the mixture.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture gradually, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
  7. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  10. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
