Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Grated zucchini (unpeeled)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold the grated zucchini into the batter, along with the chopped nuts if using, until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve room temperature or slightly warmed. Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
