Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Grated zucchini
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and the chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Lightly grease a microwave-safe baking dish (approximately 6- to 7-inch wide, such as a glass pie plate or square dish). Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.
Microwave on high power for 5-6 minutes, checking for doneness starting at the 5-minute mark. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the dish for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
