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
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts, if using.
- Grease and flour a 6-quart slow cooker, or line it with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 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 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your grated zucchini is squeezed dry to prevent a watery bread.
- For best results, use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- You can add a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
