A simple, moist, and flavorful small-batch zucchini bread made with just a few ingredients. This recipe yields a tender loaf perfect for solo living or couples, featuring walnuts for crunch and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup grated medium zucchini (squeezed dry)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4 inch or 9×5 inch small loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Wash and grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze tightly to remove as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, and oil together until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeezing the water out of the zucchini is critical to prevent a dense or gummy texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. If the top browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil after 20 minutes. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
