Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no flour streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
