Ingredients

• 2 cups (grated) Zucchini
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 1 cup (chopped) Walnuts
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and grate the zucchini using a box grater. Measure out 2 cups and set aside. No need to peel the zucchini.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Then stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 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 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
