Ingredients

• 2 cups (grated and squeezed of excess moisture) Zucchini
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup (chopped) Walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Measure 2 cups of grated zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture, then set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Portion the prepared batter into freezer-safe resealable bags or containers, ensuring they are airtight. Label with the date and contents, then freeze flat for up to 3 months.

Step 7

When ready to bake, thaw the batter in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 8

Pour the thawed batter into the loaf pan and bake for approximately 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
