• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)

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 medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin purée, grated zucchini, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
