Directions

Step 1

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

Step 4

Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract into the wet mixture until smooth.

Step 5

Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients.

Step 6

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

Step 7

If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve your zucchini bread with a pat of butter or enjoy it plain.
