Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Shred zucchini and press it between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, toasted walnuts, baking powder, lemon rind, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Mix well and make a well in the center.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
-
Add the drained zucchini to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
-
Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened; do not overmix.
-
Grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top of each loaf.
-
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let loaves cool in pans for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Then remove from pans and cool completely on the rack.
