Zucchini Carrot Bread with Orange Cream Cheese Spread
source Pillsbury Annual Recipes 2010, page 17
- 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (2 medium)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (3 medium)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Orange Cream Cheese Spread Spread
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (8×4-inch) loaf pans or 1 (9×5-inch) loaf pan with shortening or cooking spray. (I filled 5 mini-loaf pans with 1 cup batter and baked about 45 minutes)
In large bowl, mix zucchini, carrots, sugar, oil and eggs with Large spoon. Stir in remaining bread ingredients. Divide batter evenly between pans.
Bake 8-inch loaves 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, 9-inch loaf 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on cooling rack.
Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top sides up on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In small bowl, beat spread ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Serve with sliced bread. Cover; refrigerate any remaining spread.

I love carrot cake and zucchini bread so I can't wait to try this recipe! I love your blog especially the pictures you post with Bible verses on them
My hubby has been away for a few days and I was wondering what to make for him when he comes home tomorrow afternoon – just found it and I have all I need in the garden and the cupboard.
Thanks for sharing another delicious recipe!
That would be great for breakfast! Looks wonderful!
Oh yea, ya gotta eat healthy:@) We're fond of whole wheat flour so that sounds like a great addition to me. Might give this a try if my son brings over more zucchini!
Wow,that looks soooo yummy and the orange spread makes me drool….too bad I'm on this low carb diet thing.
It's important to put all of these healthy ingredients into our bodies…I agree…lol! Seriosly, it looks delicious…my grandboys LOVE Mawmaw's zucchini bread so the next time I will throw them a curve and add some carrots! Just printed off the recipe…thanks, Lorraine! Happy Monday 🙂
Oh yes, I totally agree. I think I'm in need of some dairy and fruit myself….lol.
