Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups grated zucchini about 2 small
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt with a whisk. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the grated zucchini, oil, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and the walnuts to the zucchini mixture. Gently stir just until combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly over the prepared pans and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, remove from the pan, and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • This recipe should be baked in 8x4-inch loaf pans (not 9x5-inch pans).
  • Use the larger side of a box grater to shred the zucchini. There is no need to peel it first unless it is a very large garden zucchini with thick skin.
  • If the zucchini is extra large (from the garden), you may need to scrape out some of the seeds with a spoon.
  • Do not squeeze the zucchini dry, moisture is needed for this bread.
  • Store zucchini bread at room temperature for up to 2 days. It's very moist so if you'll be keeping it longer you'll want to refrigerate or freeze it.
  • To freeze, cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic, then place in zip freezer bag for up to a year.
