Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

NON STICK SPRAY
1 c zucchini, finely grated (about one medium zucchini)
1 c green apple, finely grated (about 2 small apples)
1 1/4 c light brown sugar
1 c canola oil
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp all purpose flour
1 1/2 c chopped pecans (or any nut you like) optional

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat 2 (4 1/2 by 8 1/2-inch) loaf pans with nonstick spray. Line the pans with parchment paper and spray the paper.
2. Combine the zucchini, apple, brown sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl and stir to combine.
3. In another bowl combine 3 cups flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg to the bowl and mix well.
4. In a small bowl toss the nuts with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon flour to coat and prevent them from sinking. Gently stir in the nuts. *I only added about 1/2 cup of nuts. I used pecans but you can use any nut you like and add as much as you like.*
5. Divide the batter between the 2 loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the middle of each loaf comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the bread from the pans and cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help ensure that you have everything you need and that your ingredients are ready to use.
Grate the Zucchini and Apples Finely: This will help them blend into the batter more easily and give your bread a more even texture.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a Loaf Pan with a Non-Stick Coating: This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan and make it easier to remove.
Bake the Bread Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked all the way through.
Let the Bread Cool Completely Before Slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This Zucchini Apple Pecan Bread is a delicious and moist bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's easy to make and packed with healthy ingredients like zucchini, apples, and pecans. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious bread recipe, give this one a try!
