A sweet and moist zucchini bread perfect for breakfast or tea time, filled with warm spices and optional nuts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. Combine the grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just blended.
  5. Fold in the nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini for better texture. You can substitute with Greek yogurt or applesauce for a healthier version.
