Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 cup grated apple (about 1 large apple)
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 small zucchini)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until well combined. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Fold in the grated carrots, apple, and zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and raisins until evenly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
