Ingredients

• 2 cups zucchini, grated
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups honey
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the honey, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold the grated zucchini into the batter. If using walnuts, fold them in as well.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
