Easy Carrot Zucchini Bread

Mike and I leave for Mexico in a month in a half for our 7 Year Anniversary. I am so excited!  We are actually going back to the same place we went for our Honeymoon, it was an all-inclusive and absolutely amazing!  To get our bodies “beach ready” both Mike and I have committed to doing crazy workout videos from now till our vacation.  I am doing the Brazilian Buff Lift video {come on ladies, who doesn’t want a good looking butt!} and Mike is doing Insanity.  All I have to say is … HOLY COW are my thighs and butt sore!!! My 20 something year old body is walking like a grandma, it’s ridiculous.  Have any of you done one of these workouts yet?

Along with working out, obviously you need to eat right or the workouts are for naught. With all the Zucchini Recipes I have seen on Pinterest lately and from other bloggers I was starting to feel left out.  In order to fit in with the “cool crowd” I decided to make this easy Carrot Zucchini Bread.  There is nothing better than a good zucchini bread, it is definitely one of my favorites even oven banana bread.  Ok, maybe there is one thing better… Carrot Zucchini Bread!  It’s like Carrot Cake and Zucchini Bread combine to form one superhero bread… but healthier!  It’s awesome! 🙂

How to Make Carrot Zucchini Bread

To get started, preheat oven to 350º.  In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Grate 1 3/4 cups of zucchini and 1/2 cup of carrot. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of applesauce until well blended.

Next, add in the 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Whisk until combined. Add grated zucchini and carrots, stirring until combined.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.  Pour mixture into prepared greased loaf 8×4 pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

This a great grab and go breakfast for those running late school morning or a mid afternoon snack.
