Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Packed light brown sugar
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Grated zucchini
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

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 easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until lightly frothy. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini and the chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Enjoy a slice of Mom's zucchini bread with a cup of coffee or tea, or simply on its own!
