Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Grease two 8 by 4 inch pans or two 9 by 5 inch pans with vegetable oil spray or softened butter.

Flour the pans and shake away any excess flour.

In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

In a separate large bowl, combine 3 eggs, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 2 and a quarter cups of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Beat together these ingredients.

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well.

Grate 3 to 4 medium zucchini to yield a total of 2 cups, and add the liquid generated from grating to the mixture for added moisture.

Add the grated zucchini and 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans, dividing it equally.

Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on your oven, until a toothpick tester inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pans for 20 minutes before removing them and cooling completely on a wire rack.
