Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated zucchini
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense bread.
Fold in the grated zucchini, and if desired, add the chopped walnuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Garden Fresh Zucchini Bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
