\"5This bread is FABULOUS! I followed recipe exactly as stated and it turned out perfectly. I needed to add the full 4 Tablespoons of warm milk for the right consistency. I added some dates and put them in the bread. You were right-it really put it over the top! What I really loved about this bread was that it was not too sweet! I used just regular sugar in the recipe because that is what I had.
This is going into my FAVORITES of quick bread recipes for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> I used a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flours to keep the texture a little hearty. But you can use all whole wheat, too, like in this pumpkin banana bread recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: Regular granulated, light brown, or coconut sugar all work well in this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil<\/strong>: <\/span>I love using coconut oil for my baking. But any <\/strong>neutral-tasting vegetable oil will be a fantastic substitute for coconut oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spices: <\/strong>Delicately spiced with cinnamon, the bread gives off a very cozy vibe. You can leave it out if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrots and Zucchini:<\/strong> Use the coarse side of a box grater to shred the vegetables. It's important to squeeze out moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts:<\/strong> Walnuts go super well with carrots and zucchini. You can easily substitute with almonds or pecans. Add raisins or chopped dates to make the quick bread richer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Carrot Zucchini Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Grate your carrot and zucchini. Squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini<\/strong> and set it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Sift all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Whisk in caster sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Combine coconut oil with Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Dry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> When the wet ingredients are well mixed, pour them over the dry ingredients. The thing about the carrot zucchini bread recipe is that it has a very thick batter, but if your batter is dryish, you will <\/em>need to add 2 to 4 tablespoons of milk. Make sure you use warm <\/em>milk, not cold. We need a thick, smooth batter for this bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Transfer the batter into your greased tin and top with more chopped nuts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 9:<\/strong> Let the bread cool in the tin for a few minutes, and then carefully turn it out onto a rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Cool completely and then serve!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
