If you are a bread lover, then you will love this super moist homemade zucchini bread recipe. It’s quick and simple to make, and topped with delicious pecans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 1/2 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Tsp. Ground Nutmeg
  • 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Light or Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Cups Shredded Zucchini (about 2 medium)
  • 1 Cup Pecans (chopped, divided)
  • 2 Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tsp. Maple Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. 
  3. In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk the oil, egg, vanilla extract, and maple extract until combined and set aside. 
  4. Then add zucchini and a 1/2 cup of pecans to the dry ingredients and mix it in. 
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl. Mix it until it’s combined, but do not overmix. The batter should be semi-thick.
  6. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray, and then line it with parchment paper. Spoon the batter into the loaf pan and top with the remaining chopped pecans.
  7. Bake for 50 – 55 minutes. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes to prevent the top from getting too brown. Remove the foil, then continue to bake. The zucchini bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (with no raw batter). Remove the bread from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.

 

Notes

Leftover bread can be covered and stored at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. This bread (once cooled) can be wrapped in parchment paper and aluminum foil and you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
