CARROT ZUCCHINI BREAD

The bread is soft, tender, uber-moist, dense enough to be satisfying, but still light. It's just sweet enough to taste like a dessert and not like you're eating vegetables. It's an easy, no mixer recipe, that comes together quickly. Coconut oil adds a nearly imperceptible undertone that's sweeter and more fragrant than canola or vegetable oil, but substitute with them if desired. I grated the carrots and zucchini by hand using the coarsest blade on a box grater. The batter is quite thick and that's by design. Feel free to optionally add walnuts, raisins, or your favorite nuts or dried fruit, or glaze the bread if desired.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large egg
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup liquid-state coconut oil (canola or vegetable may be substituted)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cup sour cream (lite is okay; or Greek yogurt may be substituted)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste
1 cup grated carrots, laid loosely in cup and not packed (about 1 large/2 medium peeled and trimmed carrots)
1 cup grated zucchini, laid loosely in cup and not packed(about 1 medium/large trimmed zucchini)
1/2 cup walnuts, raisins, etc., optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside. Note - Loaf is not very tall as baked in a 9×5 pan, but I fear an 8×4 pan will be a bit too skimpy.
  • In a large bowl, add the the egg, brown sugar, oil, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don't overmix.
  • Add the carrots, zucchini, optional walnuts or raisins, and fold gently to combine.
  • Turn batter out into the prepared pan (it's quite thick, this is what you want), smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 52 to 58 minutes (I baked 54 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Tip - Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it at the 35 minute-mark to prevent top and sides from becoming overly browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of carrots, zucchini, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don't worry if it takes longer to bake than the baking estimates provided.
  • Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve with or glaze with Honey Butter, Cinnamon-Sugar Butter, or Vanilla Bean Browned Butter Glaze, or Cream Cheese Glaze. Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, grated zucchini and carrots for the best flavor and texture. Grating the vegetables helps them blend seamlessly into the batter and ensures even distribution throughout the loaf.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
  • Use a loaf pan that is lightly greased and floured. This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan and ensure that it comes out clean.
  • Bake the bread at 350°F for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the bread while it's baking, as ovens can vary in temperature.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread set and make it easier to slice.
