Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Grease and flour two bread pans.

In a large bowl, mix together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon.

Set the dry ingredients aside.

In another bowl, beat 3 eggs, then add 1 cup of white sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1 cup of vegetable oil, mixing until well combined.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet mixture and mix again.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Grate 2 cups of zucchini, leaving the peel on for color, and squeeze out excess water using a paper towel.

Fold the drained zucchini into the batter along with 1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts if desired.

Pour the batter into the prepared bread pans, filling them halfway.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the zucchini bread from the oven; it should be golden brown and smell wonderful.

Slice the bread to see the nuts and zucchini inside.
