🛒 Ingredients:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
¾ cup sugar (you can use brown or white)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 ½ cups grated zucchini (don’t peel)
-
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Mix the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add oil, sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
4. Combine wet and dry
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — do not overmix!
5. Add the zucchini
Gently fold in the grated zucchini. If using nuts, add them in now too.
6. Bake the bread
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool & slice
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
💡 Tips:
-
You don’t need to squeeze the zucchini dry unless it’s overly watery.
-
Add chocolate chips for a sweeter twist 🍫
-
This bread stores well — wrap and refrigerate for up to 4–5 days, or freeze slices for later.
