Zucchini Carrot Bread

by Alexis

Well, my kids request this all the time.  It is the snack of choice to take to school.  I love that it is full of veggies!

Ingredients
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted (one stick)
3/4 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup zucchini, grated and undrained (1-2 zucchini)
1 cup carrots, grated and undrained (3-4 carrots)
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup white wheat flour (minus about a tablespoon)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Grease loaf pan or line with parchment paper (my preferred method).
  3. Combine eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla.
  4. In another bowl mix flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
  5. Add flour mixture to egg mixture.  Gently combine until mixed.
  6. Lastly add zucchini and carrots and mixed until blended.  Mixture may be quite thick.
  7. Place in loaf pan and sprinkle with sugar on top.
  8. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until desired doneness.

Hope your family likes this as much as we do!
