Description
Delicious and moist apple zucchini bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil or substitute half with applesauce
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup diced apple, peeled
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the pans: Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans or six mini loaf pans. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Prep the fruits: Grate the zucchini and set aside. Peel one medium apple, then dice it into small pieces.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, vegetable oil (or applesauce), vanilla extract, white sugar, and brown sugar until well blended.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Add zucchini, apples, and nuts: Gently fold in the grated zucchini, diced apple, and chopped walnuts. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour into pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake: Mini loaves: 35–40 minutes. Full-sized loaves: About 55 minutes. Test with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Store at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Optional: Add raisins, dried cranberries, or swap walnuts for pecans for variety.
- Freezing tip: Slice before freezing for convenient single-portion servings.
