A straightforward, beginner-friendly zucchini bread recipe that uses a one-bowl method for minimal mess and maximum flavor. Moist, tender, and perfectly spiced, this bread is ideal for snack time or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (80ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed dry)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan lightly with oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly pale.
  4. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and optional chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle extra nuts or cinnamon on top.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy bread. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread tender. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and rise. Test doneness with a toothpick. Store wrapped tightly at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
