Steps

Grate zucchini onto a cheesecloth. Wrap/twist it up in the cheesecloth and squeeze out as much water as possible. This is the MOST IMPORTANT step. Once you squeeze out the water, set aside.

Step 3

Mix together the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Then mix together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

Step 4

Add the dry to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly, then fold in the grated zucchini. Mix.

Step 5

Sprinkle in half of the walnuts – reserve the rest for the top of the bread – and mix.

Step 6

Spray a baking or muffin pan with oil then add the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick poked in the middle of it comes out clean.
