Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy using an electric mixer or whisk. Gradually mix in the vegetable oil and sugar until well combined. Gently stir in the grated zucchini and vanilla extract. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and toasted walnuts. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. (60-70 minutes)

07

Step

Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground nutmeg or cardamom to the dry ingredients.
Toasting the walnuts intensifies their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch.
Squeezing out excess moisture from the grated zucchini prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
For a chocolatey variation, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients and reduce the all-purpose flour by the same amount.
Store cooled bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
