Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup finely grated zucchini
• 1 cup finely grated carrot
• 1/2 cup toasted almond oil
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup hot water

Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Grease a 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan with toasted almond oil.

Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and cloves and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk well and set aside.

In a separate bowl stir combine the almond oil, brown sugar, eggs, molasses, ginger and whisk well. Add the carrot and zucchini.
