Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups grated zucchini ((about 2 small))
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts ((or pecans))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350˚F and grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, add the grated zucchini, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients and walnuts to the zucchini mixture. Gently fold until JUST combined. Do not overmix.

5. 5

   Divide the batter between two loaf pans and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I like to cover them with aluminum foil after 30 minutes so that the tops do not get too dark.

6. 6

   Let the bread cool in the pan(s) for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
