A moist and cozy zucchini bread with warm spices and a tender crumb, perfect for family gatherings or a comforting snack. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients and yields a bakery-quality loaf.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar (optional but recommended)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (about 300g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan well with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the sugars and oil together until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula. Combine until no streaks of flour remain, but do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and nuts (if using).
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs and ingredients for better rise. Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling. Start checking bread 5-10 minutes before minimum baking time to avoid overbaking. Let bread cool fully before slicing.
