Ingredients

• Nonstick spray to coat your loaf pan
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups leftover fruit and/or vegetable pulp from a juicer (for example, 1 cup berry/apple and 1/2 cup carrot, or your preferred blend)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cardamom (if using).
3. In a large bowl, whisk the light brown sugar, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two additions, folding gently until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in the fruit and vegetable pulp until evenly distributed.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the bread cool in the pan until it's comfortable to touch, then remove it to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

Note: If you don't have a juicer, use 1 1/2 cups of finely shredded fruits and vegetables instead of pulp. To make muffins instead of a loaf, reduce the baking time to about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

This quick bread is a great way to use leftover juice pulp, reducing waste while adding moisture and flavor. It works with many fruit and vegetable combinations and is warmly spiced and slightly sweet; reduce the sugar if you prefer a less sweet loaf.
