• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded zucchini
• 1 cup Shredded carrot
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. Add in the unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Then fold the zucchini and shredded carrots into the batter. Add the chopped walnuts and raisins if using.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve your healthy zucchini carrot spice bread, and enjoy!
