I cannot be the only mother on the planet who has difficulty getting her kids to eat their vegetables! I am not above hiding veggies in food. I just had to share this recipe for zucchini/carrot bread that I found on pinterest because my kids gobbled it up - vegetables and all!! Even Graham (my super-picky kiddo) loved it. He kept asking for more "bikini bread"!!
Carrot-Zucchini Bread
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp ground ginger
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 cup candied ginger, optional (I omitted this)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil (I used 1/4 cup canola oil and 1/4 cup applesauce)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup coarsely grated carrots
- 1/2 cup coarsely grated zucchini
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease your loaf pan. In a large bowl, mix eggs, oil (& applesauce), sugar and vanilla. Stir in carrots and zucchini.
Mix remaining dry ingredients together and slowly add to large bowl. Stir/fold until just blended. Pour mixture into loaf pan.
Bake about 1 hour, until firm and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely and enjoy!! Next time I will double this because it disappeared WAY too fast!
