Instructions
Prep work: First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and set aside.Then, grate your zucchini to have ribbons of zucchini ready for the bread batter.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon, and sugar.Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, water, grated zucchini, and lemon juice.Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
Add nuts: If you're using nuts, now is the time to fold them into the bread batter.Prepare loaf pans: Grease your standard loaf pans (two 9x5-inch pans) or mini-loaf pans.You may also use parchment paper in the prepared loaf pans for easier removal after baking.
Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans and place them in the preheated oven.For standard loaf pans, bake for about 1 hour, and for mini loaf pans, bake for about 45 minutes.To ensure the bread is done, insert a toothpick or tester into the bread, and it should come out clean.Remember to let your zucchini bread cool in the pans for a bit before transferring it to a cooling rack.Enjoy your delicious Paula Deen Zucchini Bread!
