Ingredients
- □ 3 cups 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- □ 2 teaspoons 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- □ 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon baking powder
- □ 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon baking soda
- □ 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon sea salt
- □ 1 cups 1½ cups cane sugar
- □ 1 cup 1 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
- □ 3 large 3 large eggs
- □ 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- □ 3 cups 3 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium, do not press or squeeze)
- □ 1 I start by whisking together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Mixing them first ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed, giving the bread a consistent rise.
- □ 1 In a separate bowl, I whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Then I beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. The mixture should be slightly glossy and thick.
- □ 1 Next, I gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. I stop as soon as everything is combined — overmixing can make the bread dense. Then, I fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Instructions

I bake the zucchini bread for 60–70 minutes. I know it’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
