Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups zucchini, grated (excess moisture squeezed out)
• 0.75 cups unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon optional: powdered sugar (for garnish)

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

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your homemade Zucchini Pistachio Bread!
