Scale
- 3 large eggs

- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Mix in the vegetable oil, grated zucchini, and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Use freshly grated zucchini for the best moisture and texture.
- If the zucchini is extremely watery, gently squeeze out some excess moisture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender.
- Substitute pecans for walnuts or add chocolate chips for a sweeter variation.
- For a different flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or some orange zest.
- Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze tightly wrapped for longer storage.
