Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups shredded zucchini (unpeeled, packed)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure the zucchini is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth out the tops with a spatula.
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaves to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Prize Winnin' Zucchini Bread!
