A comforting and moist zucchini bread with warm spices, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. This recipe yields two fluffy loaves filled with cinnamon and vanilla aromas, with options for mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 small-medium zucchinis)
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups chopped walnuts (or pecans, if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
  2. Grate zucchini finely to yield 2 cups and set aside.
  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together grated zucchini, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
  5. Add chopped walnuts (or pecans) and the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients.
  6. Fold gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, inserting a toothpick near the center to check doneness (toothpick should come out clean).
  9. If tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil after about 30 minutes of baking.
  10. Cool the loaves in their pans for about 15 minutes.
  11. Transfer loaves to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh, finely grated zucchini for optimal moisture and texture., Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough bread; fold ingredients gently just until combined., If the tops brown too quickly, tent with aluminum foil mid-bake., Store leftover bread wrapped tightly or in an airtight container to preserve moisture., Reheat slices in oven (350°F for 10-15 minutes), microwave (20-30 seconds on medium), or stovetop (2-3 minutes over low heat flipping once)., Optional mix-ins include chocolate chips, raisins, or different nuts for personalization.
