How to Make Barb S Best Zucchini Bread

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease the bottoms only of two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and foamy.
3. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 3 cups grated zucchini (about 3 medium), ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans and ½ cup raisins (optional).
6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
7. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once completely cool, slice and serve. Enjoy!
