I got this recipe from my mom, and it is called Mom’s Zucchini Bread.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour two bread pans. With a sifter combine four, salt baking powder, soda and cinnamon in a bowl. Beat eggs, vanilla, oil and sugar. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir in nuts and zucchini until combined well. Pour into pans and bake 40 to 60 minutes.
Notes:
I overcooked mine, but it was still good. The one pictured above is a loaf my mom gave me. Hers looked browner to me, so I kept waiting for mine to brown up – hence the overcooking. As to why it was lighter in color. Well, I decided to make only half the recipe. Everything was fine until I got to the part where it said 3 eggs…
It’s quite good, though Mom’s was better. Next time I will just make the whole recipe and give one loaf away like Mom did. I guess Mother knows best when it comes to Mom’s Zucchini Bread!
I am trying this today its in the oven now cant wait.
Oooooh, hope you like it as much as we did. Yum!

I have never had a zuchini in my life (at least knowingly), but my friend brought a huge one over so I’m gonna try it out. first recipe up is yours! I’m excited, thank you!
Hey, thanks for your comment. Hope you love it!
I made the bread and it was a hit… My kids even ate it…I like it warmed up with a bit of butter.. Yummy!
Yay! So glad you liked it!
Freeze your extra loaf. They freeze beautifully and taste even better after thawing!
I made this bread yesterday. Wow!! It is absolutely delicious! This is definitely a saver!!
We have made this twice with zucchini from our garden. It is wonderful! I added a splash of milk (my batter was really thick) and white chocolate chips. This is definitely going on my favorites list.
That sounds FABULOUS Leslie. Will have to try that!
I just pulled my bread out of the oven it smells so good i can not wait for it to cool off some so i can eat some my first time making any type of bread from scratch
Congratulations! I love it with butter or cream cheese (or nothing). It’s almost like cake to me.
I made this yesterday & it sunk in the middle. I used two loaf pans. What did I do wrong? My family said it was delicious but it wasn’t very pretty.
Hmmm. Not sure. Glad it tasted good, that’s all that counts anyway!
Made this wonderful loaf yesterday. I substituted 1c. of applesauce instead of 1c of vegetable oil and it turned out GREAT!!!! Our new Favourite!!! Thanks for the recipe
Substituted apple sauce for oil, but otherwise the best zucchini bread I’ve ever had! Love the cinnamon.
Made this today and it is delicious! I will definitely be making it again!
This was so delicious! I cut the recipe in half and it still turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!
I have this recipe baking right now! I can’t wait to taste it! Thanks for the recipe!
Love this recipe! Want to try it without the walnuts though, will that affect it?
