This Pumpkin Zucchini Bread is a delightful combination of fall flavors and moist texture. Packed with pumpkin, zucchini, and warm spices, it’s a perfect treat for any time of day.


Ingredients

Pumpkin Zucchini Bread:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (with excess moisture squeezed out)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, zucchini, eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, fold in nuts if using.
  5. Bake: Pour batter into pan and bake for 55–65 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Remove excess moisture from zucchini to avoid sogginess.
  • Experiment with additions like chocolate chips or raisins.
  • Bread can be frozen for up to 3 months.
