Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Fold in the grated carrots, apple, and zucchini until evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in optional chopped nuts or raisins if desired.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
