Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini, squeezed lightly to remove excess water)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 8×4-inch loaf pans, or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped walnuts/pecans (if using), and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing them from the pans to cool completely on the wire rack.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
