Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • mixing bowl
  • mixing spoon
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 stick melted butter 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
  • 2 1/2 cups finely grated zucchini

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 9x5 loaf pan with non stick cooking spray or butter.
  • Grate zucchini finely and blot gently with a paper towel just to remove excess moisture. Do not press hard.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk everything until combined. Then add the brown and white sugar and stir.
  • Next add the eggs, butter, oil, vanilla, and nutmeg and mix well. The mixture should be thick.
  • Finally add the grated zucchini and walnuts, mix well.  The batter should become a lot looser from the moisture of the zucchini.
  • Fill the loaf pan with the batter and bake for 65-75 minuets.  Insert a toothpick or chop stick in the middle and it should come out clean.
  • Place the bread on a co0ling rack and let it cool for 30 minuets. Serve warm with some fresh butter and enjoy
