Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grate zucchini and then press most of the water out with a towel. Combine the oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and the spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. Stir in the grated zucchini and then the nuts.
Grease loaf pans and then pour batter into them as evenly as possible. Very lightly sprinkle the additional nuts on top of the loaves. If you have too many nuts on top, it will cause the bread to fall slightly. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into loaf comes out clean or with crumbs. Enjoy!
