Carrot Zucchini Apple Bread

This Carrot Zucchini Apple Bread is moist and full of delicious fall harvest fruit and vegetables.  This recipe makes 2 loaves, so you can enjoy one now and freeze one for later!

This time of year makes me want to make all the things!  Loaves, pickles, pies, cakes, stews, pastas…everything.  There’s just something about fall that inspires me to get into the kitchen to cook and bake.  It feels comforting and the results are delicious.

Bake, don’t waste!

After a big farmers’ market shopping spree, I made a batch of these Carrot Zucchini Apple Breads.  With so much produce around, sometimes I struggle with using it all up…I hate food waste so I like to get creative.  And these loaves are a result of that!  So if you have a tonne of carrots, apple and zucchini around, these are a great way to use some of them up.

Carrot + Zucchini + Apple = Delicious!

The base for this recipe is my tried-and-true Best Ever Zucchini Bread which is a family favourite!  And I just knew that recipe would work perfectly for this Carrot Zucchini Apple Bread.  I basically replaced half of the zucchini with shredded apples and fresh farm carrots.  The combination is perfection!

Add this to your recipe box!

This bread is tender, moist and perfectly cinnamon-y, with specks of zucchini, carrot and apple baked in.  Delicious.

Batch baking is the best!

The reward for your efforts in making this recipe is 2 loaves!  So you can enjoy one right away, and you can freeze one for later.  That’s a win in my books! I love being able to stock my freezer for the upcoming winter months.

Recipe Tips:

• Pan Size:  I use standard loaf pans for these loaves (1 lb. Pan: 8″ x 4 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ high)
• As the shredded zucchini, apple and carrot mixture sits, you will notice that there will be moisture.  Lightly squeeze out the moisture before adding it to the batter.
• These loaves freeze well.
• Make sure to line your loaf pans with parchment or wax paper.
• Allow the loaves to rest for at least 1 hour before eating.
