A simple, spiced quick bread recipe that uses grated zucchini to create a tender, moist loaf perfect for using up summer garden produce.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Grate the zucchini. You do not need to peel it. Gently squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.
  5. Add the prepared zucchini to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  7. If using, fold in the walnuts or raisins.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure you squeeze the water out of the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter. This prevents a soggy loaf.
  • If you are looking for easy ways to manage your weekly food intake, consider looking into meal planning options.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
