- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini do not wring out
- ½-1 cup chopped walnuts optional
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour two 5-x-9-inch loaf pans.
Sift flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda together into a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, sugars and vanilla together with a hand mixer. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well (batter will be a little thick). Fold in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans on a rack for 20 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely before serving.
Make Ahead: Place in a large resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the refrigerator for 7 days. This bread also freezes well. Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap, then place in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature before warming to your liking.
Variations: Add shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, or orange or lemon zest for added flavor.
Make It Mini: To make mini loaves, use four 3½-x-6-inch mini loaf pans. Bake for 35–40 minutes.
ZUCCHINI MUFFINS: To make Zucchini Muffins, use the recipe above and divide the batter among the wells of two lined 12-cup muffin tins. Fill each well about two-thirds full and bake at 350 degrees F for 24–26 minutes. Makes 24 muffins.
