Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups zucchini, grated and squeezed dry about 2 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans or one 9x5 inch pan and set aside.
  • Grate the zucchini and place in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Measure 2 cups after squeezing.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Fold in walnuts if using. Do not overmix.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Optionally sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil at 40 minutes if tops are browning too quickly.
  • Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
