Description

Zucchini Carrot Bread is a deliciously moist delight packed with flavors from fresh zucchini and carrots, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add the egg, brown sugar, oil, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the carrots, zucchini, and optional walnuts or raisins, and fold gently to combine.
  5. Turn the batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
