Orange Zucchini Bread

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix until well combined.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice the Orange Zucchini Bread and enjoy it warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
