Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan lightly with oil or non-stick spray.

Grate the Zucchini

  • Wash the zucchini well. Grate it using a fine grater and gently squeeze out extra water, but not too much.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Beat Wet Ingredients

  • In a second bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and slightly creamy.

Add Zucchini

  • Add the grated zucchini to the wet mixture. Stir gently until everything is well combined.

Combine Dry and Wet

  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula until the batter forms thick and smooth.

Add Pecans

  • Fold in the chopped pecans gently. Make sure nuts are spread evenly through the batter.

Fill the Pan

  • Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Smooth the top lightly with the spatula.

Bake the Bread

  • Place the pan in the oven. Bake for 50–55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool the Bread

  • Remove the loaf from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before placing it on a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use fresh zucchini for the best texture and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter or the bread may become dense.
  • Add raisins or chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  • Replace pecans with walnuts if you prefer a stronger nut flavor.
  • Make mini loaves by reducing the baking time to 25 minutes.
  • Add a pinch of ginger for a warm, spicy twist.
