• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Shredded zucchini
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold the shredded zucchini, chopped pecans, and milk into the batter, making sure the zucchini is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
