Ingredients
– 1 cup pumpkin puree
– 1 cup grated zucchini (with excess moisture squeezed out)
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 3 large eggs
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
To create this mouthwatering Pumpkin Zucchini Bread, simply follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well-blended.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
4. Incorporate Dry Mixture: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Add Extras: If you’re using walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this point.
6. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Enjoy: Once cooled, slice the bread and serve as desired.
These simple steps will guide you towards creating delightful pumpkin zucchini bread that will captivate everyone who tries it.
