For the bread:
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- ¾ cup grated carrots
For the glaze:
- 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions
To make the bread:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Add the oil, applesauce, egg, and egg yolk to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the brown sugar, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just until the flour has disappeared. Do not over mix.
- Add the zucchini and carrots to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 15 minutes before removing from the loaf pan and cooling completely on a wire rack.
To make the glaze:
- Add the cream cheese and butter to a microwave safe bowl and microwave until soft enough to stir together, but not fully melted, about 30-60 seconds.
- Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled bread and allow to set for 15 minutes to firm up.
