Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Zucchini, grated
• 0.5 cups Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and whisk until well mixed.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined but do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini. If using nuts, gently fold them into the batter as well.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice, serve, and enjoy Chelle's Zucchini Bread on its own or with a light spread of butter or cream cheese.
