How to Make Whole Wheat Zucchini Or Carrot Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine honey, oil (or applesauce), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Grate the zucchini (or carrots) and add it to the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
