Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • hand mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.5 cups coconut oil melted or softened
  • 0.5 cups sugar
  • 0.5 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Veggies

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • 0.5 cups shredded carrots

For the Mix-Ins

  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts
  • 0.5 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 zest of one orange

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the wet ingredients until smooth: eggs, sugar, brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the wet and dry mixtures until just combined; the batter will be thick.
  • Fold in the shredded zucchini and carrots until evenly distributed.
  • Fold in the walnuts, cranberries, and orange zest, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Properly measure ingredients for best results. Do not overmix to keep the bread light and fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
