Zucchini Sweet Potato Bread

Fall = Baking. I would bake every day if the calories didn't count. Unfortunately they do, so you have to add things like vegetables to make yourself feel a little bit better. The vegetables in this bread make it even better though!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. cloves

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup vegetable oil (or substitute part for applesauce for less fat)

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups grated zucchini

1 1/2 cups peeled and grated sweet potato

1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9 x 5 x 3 bread pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Whisk together the first 7 ingredients in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla and then mix in the zucchini and sweet potato. Add the other bowl of dry ingredients to the larger bowl and mix until just combined. Fold in the nuts.

Transfer the batter to the bread pan and bake about an hour and 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
