Description
This zucchini bread recipe is moist, spiced, and packed with flavor. A perfect way to use up extra zucchini for a comforting, easy-to-make loaf.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon or to taste
3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 ¼ cups white sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour two 8×4 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in shredded zucchini and chopped walnuts.
6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Let cool in pans for 20 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
No need to peel the zucchini, its skin is tender and bakes perfectly into the loaf.
For a healthier option, substitute half the oil with applesauce.
Add mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or toasted coconut for variation.
