Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini, carrot, and apple.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in nuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added sweetness, stir in 1/4 cup of raisins or dried cranberries.
This bread freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
