Zucchini Carrot Loaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Carrot Loaf.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9x5-inch loaf pans to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and allspice.

3. Step 3

   Give it a good stir to make sure all those warm spices and dry ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a fragrant base for your bread.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, applesauce, and eggs until everything is well blended and smooth.

5. Step 5

   This mixture adds moisture and sweetness, making your bread irresistible.

6. Step 6

   Now, gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring just until combined.

7. Step 7

   Remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine—overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, and we want it light and fluffy! Next, fold in the grated zucchini and carrots, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Step 8

   This not only adds flavor but also a lovely pop of color.

9. Step 9

   Once your batter is ready, divide it evenly between the prepared loaf pans, filling them just about three-quarters full.

10. Step 10

    Place the pans in your preheated oven and let them bake for around an hour.

11. Step 11

    You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your bread is perfectly baked.

12. Step 12

    After removing the pans from the oven, let the bread cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

13. Step 13

    This step allows the steam to escape, ensuring your loaves maintain their delightful texture.

14. Step 14

    Once completely cool, slice into your homemade bread and enjoy the wonderful flavors of zucchini and carrots in every bite!.
