INA GARTENS FRIENDS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat Oven and Grease the Loaf Pans - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray both loaf pans with cooking spray.
• Peel and Shred the Zucchini - Thoroughly wash your zucchini. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Then, use a vegetable grater to shred your zucchini, removing the seeds if they are large.
• Combine the Dry Ingredients - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
• Combine Sugar, Butter, Vanilla, and Eggs - In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla using an electric mixer. Beat at medium speed until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet ones - Gently add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Beat the mixture at low speed until combined. The mixture will be thick.
• Add the Zucchini - Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the shredded zucchini into the mixture. If desired, fold the chopped walnuts into the mixture as well.
• Bake the Bread - Evenly four the batter into the two loaf pans. Bake for 55-65 minutes, inserting a toothpick to see if it is done. If it comes out clean, the bread is done, if there are crumbs or batter, continue to bake.
• Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Afterward, transfer to a wire rack so they can completely cool.
