Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-by-5-by-3-inch glass or metal loaf pans.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and beaten eggs. Stir with a spoon until well blended.
-
Step 3.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to the bowl. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
-
Step 4.
Fold in the finely chopped or grated zucchini (including some skin for color), chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
-
Step 5.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.
-
Step 6.
Place the pans on a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes, until the pans are cool enough to handle. Then tap the loaves out onto the rack and let them cool completely before slicing.
