Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Zucchini, grated (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, and molasses until well combined.
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract into the wet mixture until smooth.
Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 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 about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your zucchini bread with a pat of butter or enjoy it plain.
