Description

Moist and flavorful zucchini bread, perfect for a snack or breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini, packed
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini and nuts (if using).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini.
  • You can add chocolate chips or other mix-ins to the batter.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
