Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed dry)
1 cup peeled and diced apple (about 1 medium apple)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Stir in the grated zucchini, diced apple, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 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.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
