Moist Cinnamon Walnut Zucchini Bread
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment that hangs over the long sides.
- Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. No need to peel it.
- Pile the grated zucchini on a clean towel and press gently to blot off excess water. Do not wring it dry.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, both sugars and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir the zucchini into the egg mixture.
- Add the flour mixture and fold just until no dry flour remains. Fold in the walnuts, if using.
