Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Zucchini, finely shredded
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded zucchini. If desired, also fold in the chopped walnuts for a nutty texture.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy Sandy's Zucchini Bread fresh or store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
