This Deliciously Moist Zucchini Bread is a delightful treat that combines wholesome and indulgent flavors, perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded zucchini (do not drain or squeeze)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, prepare your loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg if using. Whisk these together to ensure an even distribution of the spices.
- In a larger bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, then stir in the shredded zucchini.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and level the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added. The moisture from the zucchini is crucial for the bread’s moist texture.
