- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup shredded zucchini, patted dry
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the shredded zucchini and chopped nuts (if using).
- Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or a slow cooker liner.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan or liner.
- For the slow cooker: Cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, or on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For the oven: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy bread.
- For an extra festive touch, you can add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
- This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
