Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups grated zucchini
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cup low-fat milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch pans.

Step 2

Sift together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl.

Step 3

Beat together sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla in a second large bowl until well combined. Add sifted flour mixture and beat well. Stir in zucchini and walnuts until evenly distributed in batter. Pour batter into the prepared pans.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of loaves comes out clean, 40 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove loaves from the pans and place directly on the wire rack to cool completely.
