Ingredients
1 medium zucchini, finely grated
1 cup baby carrots, finely grated
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
Finely grate the zucchini and the carrots using a box grater or a food processor with a grater attachment.
Set the grated zucchini and grated carrots in a colander, and press with a spatula to remove most of the liquid. Then, set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ground ginger.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, and stir gently with a spatula until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
Add the grated zucchini and carrots, and stir gently.
Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
Run a butter knife along the edges of the loaf to loosen the bread from the pan. Invert, and let cool completely.
Slice, and serve.
