Ingredients
Method
- Begin by greasing two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans or six mini loaf pans. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil (or applesauce), vanilla extract, and both the white and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Add the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts to the batter, mixing until everything is evenly distributed. Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling them evenly.
- Place the pans in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Mini loaves typically require about 35-40 minutes, while larger loaves take approximately 55 minutes.
- Once baked, let the bread cool in the pans on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Then, remove the loaves from the pans and allow them to cool completely.
- Slice the bread, serve, and enjoy the deliciously moist zucchini bread!
Notes
To ensure your bread is fully cooked, use a cooking thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Additionally, the top should be a nice golden brown color. As the bread cools, it should maintain its shape with a rounded top and not sink.
