Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and lightly flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans, or line them with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchini. Grate it using a box grater or food processor. Set the grated zucchini aside. No need to squeeze out the moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and ground cinnamon.
Add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and grated zucchini to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until well incorporated. Do not overmix.
If using walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake the zucchinis breads in the preheated oven for 50β55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pans from the oven and let them cool for 10β15 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the zucchini bread as is, or with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or honey if desired. Enjoy!
