Ingredients
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed dry)
1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until well combined.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture and mix until smooth.
Fold the grated zucchini and chopped apple into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
