Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil and sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh zucchini for the best texture and flavor. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense loaf. Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
