This apple zucchini bread is a moist, spiced quick bread loaded with grated zucchini, sweet apple chunks, and crunchy walnuts. It’s the perfect treat for breakfast, snack, or dessert and a great way to use up fresh garden produce year-round.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce)
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apple
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease two 8×4 inch loaf pans.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Peel and dice the apple into small chunks. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, oil (or applesauce), vanilla extract, and both sugars until well combined.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini, diced apples, and walnuts.
  7. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes, then divide it evenly into the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 40–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • If your zucchini is very watery, lightly drain before using, but do not squeeze it dry.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze loaves tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
  • Use a thermometer—bread is done at 200°F internal temperature.
