Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups zucchini, grated
- 0.75 cups golden raisins
- 0.5 cups optional chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Stir the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the golden raisins and optional chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the zucchini bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
