Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup liquid-state coconut oil (canola or vegetable may be substituted)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup sour cream (lite is okay; or Greek yogurt may be substituted)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch salt (optional and to taste)
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 1 large/2 medium peeled and trimmed carrots, laid loosely in cup)
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium/large trimmed zucchini, laid loosely in cup)
- ½ cup walnuts, raisins, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the egg, brown sugar, oil, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with a spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Add the carrots, zucchini, and optional walnuts or raisins, and fold gently to combine.
- Turn the batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Bake for about 52 to 58 minutes or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
- Allow bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
