2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
-
Add the grated carrots, zucchini, and apple to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
-
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can switch up the flavor by adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.
Whole wheat flour can be used for a more wholesome version, and you can swap granulated sugar for honey or maple syrup for a healthier alternative.
For a more spiced flavor, add ground cloves or ginger to the batter.
