Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Grated zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)
• 0.5 cup Grated apple (peeled and cored, excess moisture squeezed out)
• 0.75 cup Chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set the dry ingredients aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold the grated zucchini, grated apple, and chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy the Apple Zucchini Pecan Bread on its own or with a dollop of butter or cream cheese on top!
