Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare Dry Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Then add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Zucchini and Pecans: Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped pecans gently into the batter until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake: Bake on the center rack for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Make sure to grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid a soggy bread.
  • Chilling the batter for 30 minutes before baking can enhance flavor and texture but is optional.
  • For a sweeter touch, dust the cooled bread with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Toasting pecans before adding them to the batter enhances their flavor.
