Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Grated zucchini
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter or nonstick spray (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with unsalted butter or nonstick spray and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs using a whisk or fork until well blended.

Step 5

Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the eggs and stir to combine.

Step 6

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and let the zucchini bread cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
