Print Recipe

A simple, moist zucchini bread made in a single bowl with walnuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This easy recipe uses oil for maximum moisture and requires minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 cups (about 2 medium zucchini) grated zucchini, lightly packed
  • 1 cup (120g) walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and dust with flour if desired.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and sugar until well combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking gently after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts using a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil after 45 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not squeeze the liquid out of the grated zucchini, as it is essential for moisture. Toasting walnuts beforehand enhances flavor. Ensure eggs are at room temperature to prevent the oil from seizing. Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to avoid a tough texture.
