Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.75 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups zucchini
- 0.75 cup walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no flour streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
