Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Fold the grated carrots, apple, and zucchini into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 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 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your delicious Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
