This recipe is my own adaptation of a zucchini bread; it’s not too sweet and gets better the day after– if you can wait! Sometimes I drizzle over the top a simple glaze of powdered sugar mixed with orange juice and a little orange zest. It sort of enhances all the flavors.
3-in-1 Fruit and Veggie Bread
Grate enough zucchini to end up with about 1 cup or so packed
1 carrot, grated
1 apple, grated
Zest of one orange
1 teaspoon vanilla plus 1 tablespoon juice from orange
2 cups flour (I use all or part whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 plus 1 tablespoon cup plain nonfat yogurt or nonfat sour cream
1/3 cup vegetable oil
You can always add dried fruit or blueberries or nuts. My recipes usually reflect what I have around the pantry.
Directions: Mix together all the dry ingredients, add everything else, mix until well incorporated. Fold into loaf pan. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes, check often so it doesn’t become too brown.

Thanks for sharing this recipe, it sounds really yummy! Since I have all the ingredients on hand, I think this will be my Sunday dessert. It’s already fall/winter stormy up here in Seattle, so baking is an absolute must every week:)

You must let me know how it turns out and thank you for visiting my blog! I think it would be wonderful with cup of ginger tea, or anything to keep you warm up there! My hub’s in Seattle all the time, but so far I’ve never been able to join him.

I made a loaf as well as a dozen muffins, and as soon as the muffins came out of the oven my husband, son-in-law, two daughters, and son descended on them! My husband wondered if I made them!?! They just came out of the oven, didn’t they? I glazed the loaf, and it is already half devoured too…definitely a hit:)

Here’s my problem. I looked at that delicate little slice you served yourself and had a deluded moment where I thought I could just stop at that one little slice. Who am I kidding? I’m an entire loaf kinda gal.

Girl, that photo was for the post; the slice I really ate was half the loaf, and I’m not kidding. It’s not quite chocolate lava cake, but it’s still satisfying, just not quite as decadent. The truth is no way I can stop at a little piece…now you know my secret!
