A moist and cozy Apple Zucchini Bread packed with warm spices, fresh apples, and tender zucchini. Perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert, this flavorful loaf combines natural sweetness and comforting texture in every slice.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)
  • 1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mix eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in grated zucchini, chopped apple, and nuts if using.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy bread.
  • Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier loaf.
  • Add raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze whole or sliced for up to 3 months.
