Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and well-drained grated zucchini, whisking them together.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface using an offset spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the grated zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for longer freshness.
Optional: Add chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
