Carrot Apple Zucchini Bread

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Line with parchment paper and set aside. (I use the baking spray with flour in it.)

Step 3

Place zucchini in a large kitchen towel. Bring up the four corners and twist. Squeeze the towel to extract all the liquid from the zucchini, or as much as you can. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together. Set aside.

Step 5

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar.

Step 6

Add eggs, orange juice, and vanilla and whisk until combined.

Step 7

Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients along with the shredded carrots, shredded zucchini, apples, and pecans.

Step 8

Pour into prepared pans.

Step 9

Bake until golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes, or until loaves spring back when gently pressed with fingers.

Step 10

Let cool completely before icing.

Step 11

Cream together cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer.

Step 12

Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and continue mixing. Drizzle in orange juice until desired consistency is achieved.

Step 13

Frost bread and enjoy!
