Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or other neutral oil)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed of excess moisture)
• 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and grated carrots until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
