📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined. Set the dry ingredients aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

5. Fold the grated zucchini, grated apple, and chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

7. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice and enjoy the Apple Zucchini Pecan Bread on its own or with a dollop of butter or cream cheese on top!
