Zucchini Bread
Zucchini Bread is a moist, tender quick bread featuring grated zucchini mixed into a cinnamon-spiced batter with sugar, oil, and eggs. Optional walnuts add texture and nutty flavor. The bread bakes into golden loaves with a soft crumb, sweet warmth from cinnamon, and subtle vegetal moisture from zucchini, making for a comforting snack or breakfast item.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups zucchini do not wring out, grated
- ½-1 cup walnut optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
- Sift flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla with a hand mixer. Add sifted ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat well (batter will be a little thick). Fold in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans on a rack for 20 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely before serving.

Notes
- Baking at 350°F for 20-25 minutes works for mini loaves or muffins.
- Store cooled bread in airtight containers at room temperature 3-4 days, refrigerated 5-7 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
- Do not wring out grated zucchini; its moisture keeps the bread tender and moist.
- Mini loaf pans can be used with shorter bake times for easier servings.
- Can be adapted into muffins by adjusting baking time.
