1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two 8x4-inch loaf pans with parchment paper or spray them with nonstick baking spray.

2

In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.

3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and both sugars until smooth and lightened in color. Add the oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Fold in the grated zucchini.

4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry, then stir until only a few dry streaks of flour remain. Add the chopped walnuts and stir gently just until no dry streaks of flour remain.

5

Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.

6

Let the loaves cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
