Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (you can substitute applesauce for 1/2 the oil)
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp nutmeg
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups grated zucchini (you can add a little more, I always do!)
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Grease two 8 x 4 inch pans or 6 mini loaf plans. Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Next, in a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and sugars together.
Then, add the wet ingredients to the large bowl of dry ingredients and stir until combined.
After that, grate the zucchini using a box grater. Add to the bread batter, along with the nuts, until well combined. Let batter sit 5-10 minutes.
Proceed to pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Place bread into the oven and bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. My mini-loaf pans take about 35-40 minutes. Large sized loaves take about 55 minutes. (See below for my method on making sure loaves are completely cooked!)
When done cooking, cool in the pan on rack a for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Tips:

Prep Your Zucchini: Use a box grater to shred the zucchini quickly and easily. Ensure the zucchini is dry before adding it to the batter to prevent a soggy bread.
Measure Your Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for a successful zucchini bread. Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for the most accurate results.
Grease and Flour Your Loaf Pan: This will prevent the bread from sticking and ensure it comes out of the pan cleanly.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake at the Right Temperature: The ideal temperature for baking zucchini bread is 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the bread cooks evenly without burning.
Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.
Let the Bread Cool Completely: Before slicing and serving, allow the bread to cool completely in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

With its moist, tender crumb, sweet and slightly spicy flavor, and the subtle crunch of walnuts, this zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile treat. Whether you enjoy it as a snack, dessert, or breakfast, this bread is sure to become a favorite.
