Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups zucchini, grated
• 0.75 cups golden raisins
• 0.5 cups optional chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Stir the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the golden raisins and optional chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the zucchini bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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