Ingredients

  • 2 cups (225g) all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (140g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) oil of choice (I like to use avocado oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cups (180g) shredded zucchini
  • ¾ cup (75g) shredded carrot
  • ½ cup (50g) chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease OR line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, zucchini, and carrot. Stir until almost combined. Fold in the pecans.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out MOSTLY clean with no raw batter. (A few moist crumbs is perfect!) Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  1. STORAGE: Store completely cooled bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  2. FREEZER FRIENDLY: Wrap completely cooled bread tightly in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely on the counter overnight.
