Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture gently until just combined to maintain fluffiness.
Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 15 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
