  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  6. Fold in nuts if using.
  7. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the swirl.
  8. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar.
  9. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar through the batter.
  10. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini before adding.
  • You can use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
