Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Grated zucchini
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini and, if desired, the chopped nuts.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
