Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mashed kiwi, grated zucchini, eggs, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Wait until the bread is cooled before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
Tips
- For a healthier version, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. You can also try adding other nuts like pecans or dried fruits like raisins for a different flavor and texture.
