Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 cup peeled and grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree to the egg mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
