A comforting and easy recipe for zucchini bread that includes walnuts and is perfect for using up excess zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (not peeled)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts into the wet mixture.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Notes

Avoid squeezing the zucchini too much; it should retain some moisture. Feel free to substitute walnuts with pecans or chocolate chips for a twist.
