Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup zucchini, grated
- 0.75 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, yogurt, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, and whisk until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
