Whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a bowl.

In a mixer, combine 2 cups of sugar, 3 large eggs, 1 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla until mixed together.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer while it continues to mix.

Add 2 cups of packed grated zucchini and 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the mixture and mix for about 1 minute.

Spray 2 loaf pans with nonstick spray.

Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar evenly on top of both loaves.

Add a few extra walnuts on top of each loaf.

Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for just under an hour, checking with a toothpick for doneness.

Let the loaves cool for about 30 minutes before removing them from the pans.
