Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
  2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the oil, sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. Combine the ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the grated zucchini and nuts (if using).
  5. Bake the bread: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid 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.
