Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed pumpkin (canned, not pie filling)
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, squeezed dry)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and mashed pumpkin until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 6-quart slow cooker insert.
- Cover and cook on low for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker.
- Let the bread cool in the slow cooker for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure your grated zucchini is squeezed dry to prevent a soggy bread.
- For best results, use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- You can add chocolate chips along with the nuts for an extra treat.
- This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly once completely cooled.
