Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed dry
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together until smooth and creamy.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
