- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar

- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
Add the yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar and oil mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 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 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your Zucchini Walnut Spiced Bread with your favorite warm beverage or on its own!
