Zucchini Bread Recipe (VIDEO)
Description
The recipe uses all-purpose or gluten-free flour mixed with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon for the dry base. Wet ingredients include eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Grated zucchini, measured without squeezing or packing, is folded into the batter along with optional chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
Baked in prepared loaf pans at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, the bread emerges moist and soft with a gentle crumb. The cinnamon and zucchini offer a mild spice and fresh vegetable moisture that create a tender texture. Nuts add crunch and extra flavor if included.
Cooling the bread completely before slicing helps it set. This bread is well suited for breakfast, snacks, or light desserts. Adjust nuts or omit them for allergy preferences.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or use gluten-free flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 egg room temperature, large
- 1 cup extra light olive oil or canola or vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups zucchini from 1 lb or 2 medium zucchini, grated
- 1 cup walnuts optional, chopped, or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter two 8x4-inch metal loaf pans and line with parchment paper for easier lifting.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, add eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until very well blended. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Add zucchini to the batter along with nuts (if using) and fold until well incorporated.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pans and bake in a preheated oven at 350˚F for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely to room temperature.
Notes
- Grate zucchini using the large holes of a box grater and measure 3 cups without squeezing or packing.
