• ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup (60 ml) milk or almond milk

🥕🥒🍎 Fruits & Veggies:

• 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 small zucchini, squeezed dry)
• 1 cup grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
• 1 cup grated apple (peeled, cored, and squeezed lightly — use Honeycrisp or Fuji)

🌰 Optional Add-ins:

• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• ½ cup raisins or sweetened dried cranberries
• ¼ cup shredded coconut

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Grate and Drain the Produce

1. Grate zucchini, carrots, and apple using a box grater.
2. Place the grated zucchini and apple on a clean towel or paper towel, and gently squeeze out excess moisture.
   • This step prevents soggy bread.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. Stir in both sugars to distribute evenly.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients

1. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 5: Combine Everything

1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
2. Fold in grated carrot, zucchini, and apple.
3. Add optional nuts or raisins if desired.

Step 6: Bake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Storage Tips:

• Store at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
• Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze slices for up to 3 months (wrap tightly).

🍯 Optional Glaze (for a Sweet Touch)

Ingredients:

Stuffed Potatoes with Meat

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
Whisk together until smooth and drizzle over cooled bread.

👩‍🍳 Chef’s Tips:

• Mix gently — overmixing can make the bread dense.
• For a healthier version, replace half of the flour with whole wheat flour and use honey instead of white sugar.
• You can make muffins with the same batter — bake at 350°F for 22–25 minutes.
