Ingredients
- 2 cups (grated) Zucchini
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the 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, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract, and mix well until combined.
Step 3
Slowly stir in the grated zucchini, making sure it is evenly distributed through the wet mixture.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for a nutty crunch.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve as is, or spread with butter or cream cheese for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy!
