👩‍🍳 How to Make It:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Add the grated zucchini and apple, and mix well.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Fold in nuts or dried fruit if using.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
🌟 Tips for Success:
-
Don’t skip squeezing out the excess water from the zucchini—it helps keep the bread from becoming soggy.
-
Add a sprinkle of brown sugar or rolled oats on top before baking for a sweet, slightly crunchy crust.
-
This bread freezes beautifully! Just wrap tightly and store for up to 3 months.
