Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the pumpkin purée, grated zucchini, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
