Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Shredded zucchini
• 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)
• 4 jars 12-ounce wide-mouth mason jars

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the mason jars on a baking sheet and lightly grease the insides with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded zucchini and chopped walnuts or pecans (if using).

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mason jars, filling each jar about two-thirds full to allow room for the bread to rise.

Step 7

Place the jars on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Carefully remove the jars from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. If you plan to store the zucchini bread in the jars, place the lids on tightly while the jars are still warm (it will seal the jars as they cool).

Step 9

If eating immediately, allow the bread to cool completely before serving. Use a butter knife to gently loosen and slide the bread out of the jar if preferred.
