Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing three 8x4 inch loaf pans so the bread doesn’t stick. In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until everything’s well combined. In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, stirring just until everything is moistened. Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts, making sure they’re spread evenly throughout the batter. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and pop them in the oven. Let them bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once out of the oven, let the loaves cool in the pans until they’re cool enough to handle, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. When fully cooled, wrap them up tightly or store in a plastic bag to keep them fresh.

Why you’ll love it

This bread is a great way to enjoy a tasty treat while adding more veggies to your diet. It uses whole wheat flour for extra fiber and zucchini for moisture and nutrients. Plus, it’s lower in sugar and fat than traditional quick breads.

How to serve

Enjoy slices plain or spread with a little nut butter or cream cheese. It also pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Storage & leftovers

Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer freshness, wrap it tightly and freeze for up to three months. Thaw before serving.
