Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9" loaf pan with cooking spray, or two smaller loaf pans as you do not want to overfill one pan with batter. Place the loaf pans on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any possible drips. Set aside briefly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. In a separate large bowl, combine the oil, sugars, vanilla and eggs until blended. Gradually add the flour mixture until just barely combined - you should definitely still see patches of flour streaked throughout. Gently fold in the zucchini and walnuts and just barely mix in. You do NOT want to over-mix the batter as this will lead to tough bread or bread that's sunken in the middle after baking.

Step 3

Spoon the batter evenly among the pan(s). Bake for approx. 50-60 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist - not wet - crumbs. Cool completely before serving.
