About This Recipe
Hey there, friends! Today I’m sharing something super close to my heart—my go-to Zucchini Walnut Bread Recipe. I still remember the first time I made it… Sultan peeked into the kitchen like, “Zucchini? In bread?” But the moment he took a bite, his eyes lit up. Moist, slightly nutty, and just the right hint of spice—this one became an instant keeper in our home. It’s one of those recipes that sneaks in veggies but still feels like a cozy treat.
Bake Zucchini Walnut Bread Right
To make this hearty Zucchini Walnut Bread Recipe, you’ll need a loaf pan, mixing bowls, a whisk, and a grater for that fresh zucchini. I’ve linked a few reliable tools—some even come with nice deals. If you bake often, investing in a quality grater or silicone pan is totally worth it!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
¾ cup chopped walnuts (toasted)
Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs with oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated zucchini, toasted walnuts, and optional chocolate chips or raisins.
Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Secret Tips
Drain that zucchini: After grating, squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Toast your walnuts: Just a quick toast in the oven or pan brings out their full flavor.
Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined. Overmixing can make it dense.
Tent with foil: If the top starts browning too fast, cover loosely with foil around the 30-minute mark.
