This recipe makes two loaves of zucchini bread – one for you, and one for the rest of the family! It’s so moist with a little crisp to the outer layer. Bring it to a potluck or to work and people will bow to you 😉
What You Need
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (about 1 medium-sized zucchini)
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl, combine the first seven dry ingredients
- In another bowl, combine eggs, zucchini, oil and vanilla extract
- Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients ***When it’s all combined, the consistency is pretty pasty, that’s normal
- Fold the walnuts in
- Pour into 2 greased 9x5x3 loaf pans
- Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes ***Some ovens will bake it in one hour, so do the toothpick check at the one-hour mark
- Let the loaves cool in the loaf pans for at least 30 minutes before removing
You can also add chocolate chips to this recipe. Just decrease the walnuts to ½ a cup and add ½ cup of chocolate chips. And for chocoholics…or those allergic to walnuts, replace the whole cup of walnuts with chocolate chips.
