Cozy Grandma’s Apple Zucchini Bread

 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy.
4. Stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and grated apple.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fold in nuts or raisins if using.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

 Methods

• Quick Bread Method: No yeast, no kneading—just mix, pour, and bake.
• Moisture Balance: Zucchini adds moisture without flavor, while apples bring natural sweetness.
• Gentle Mixing: Stirring lightly keeps the bread soft and tender.
