Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini drained of water
  • 1 cup walnuts finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your bread will bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Zucchini - Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Make sure to drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
  • Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Set aside.
  • Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. Add the vegetable oil, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures - Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Step 6: Fold in Zucchini and Walnuts - Gently fold in the grated zucchini and walnuts using a spatula. This is where the magic happens—your batter will come together beautifully!
  • Step 7: Pour into Loaf Pan - Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Use the spatula to smooth the top, ensuring it bakes evenly.
  • Step 8: Bake - Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Step 9: Cool - Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the zucchini well to avoid soggy bread.
  • Feel free to experiment with different spices or add-ins like chocolate chips.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
