Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (lightly squeezed)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup neutral vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries and the chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure you squeeze the excess moisture from the grated zucchini with a tea towel to keep the bread from becoming too soggy.
If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a teaspoon of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from bleeding color.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze sliced portions for up to 3 months.
