Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, peel and mash the fresh kiwis with a fork until smooth but slightly textured. You should have about 1 cup of mashed kiwi.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mashed kiwi gently. If using, stir in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 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 before slicing and serving.
