Sally's Baking Addiction

Zucchini Bread

This is a recipe I found on Sally's Baking Addiction a few years back. She has since updated it, so the version I have isn’t the same as what’s currently posted on her website.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spoon & leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts optional - Sally had semi sweet chocolate chips, but I like walnuts
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini about 1 medium size

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Grease your baking pan of choice
  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and walnuts together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside.
  3. Whisk oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, and zucchini together until combined in a medium bowl.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into a the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until "just" combined. Do not over-mix.
  5. Spread the batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes. You will need to adjust the baking time if you're baking muffins. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with no raw batter.
  6. Remove the bread from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
