Ingredients
Bread
- 2 medium zucchini
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 16 ounces powdered sugar

Instructions
Bread
- Grate the zucchini with box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze out the excess water. Measure 2 cups of zucchini after the water has been removed.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray two loaf pans with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- In another large mixing bowl, cream together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla using an electric or stand mixer.
- Add the sifted dry ingredients and gently mix to combine.
- Fold in 2 cups of zucchini and the chopped walnuts.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.
- Allow the loaves to rest in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing from the pans to finish cooling on a wire rack.
Frosting
- Use a mixer to combine the butter and cream cheese.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue mixing until combined.
- Spread the frosting over the top of the zucchini bread.
- Once frosted, the bread should be stored in the refrigerator.
