Mom's Spiced Zucchini Bread
Description
This zucchini bread recipe blends grated peeled zucchini into a batter of sugar, neutral oil, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. The mixture produces a bread with moist crumb and gentle spice from cinnamon. Folding in chopped walnuts adds crunch and nutty flavor but is optional.
The batter can be divided into greased loaf pans, mini loaves, or muffin tins to bake at 350°F with times adjusted accordingly, typically 55-60 minutes for large loaves and less for smaller portions. The baked bread sets a tender texture with moisture from zucchini and oil, and a spiced aroma from cinnamon.
Mom's spiced zucchini bread serves well as a snack, breakfast item, or accompaniment to tea or coffee. Serving warm or at room temperature is suitable, and walnuts add additional flavor depth. The bread keeps well and can be sliced for convenience.
