INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
    • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 1 ½ cups white sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 🧈 ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • Other Ingredients

    • 🧂 1 tablespoon kosher salt
    • 4 cups grated zucchini
    • 1 cup chopped walnuts

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter two loaf pans.

2

Mix kosher salt into grated zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a strainer and rinse under cold water to remove the salt. Let drain for 15 to 20 minutes.

3

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

4

Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and pale yellow, about 1 minute. Squeeze excess water out of the zucchini and add it to the egg mixture.

5

Pour in the melted butter and stir to combine. Add walnuts and the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until flour is fully incorporated.

6

Divide batter between the prepared loaf pans and tap to settle the batter.

7

Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown on top and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

8

Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
