Let's Cook

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2 cups packed light brown sugar, 1 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
Step 3.
Stir in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1 cup chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

Step 4.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1¼ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves.
-
Step 5.
Add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir just until blended; do not overmix.

Step 6.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans or muffin cups. For loaves, bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For muffins, bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Set the pans on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing or removing muffins from the pan.
