Lightened-Up Mom’s Zucchini Bread is moist and tender with a gentle warmth from cinnamon and a subtle nuttiness from walnuts.

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch pans.
2

Sift all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl.
3

In a second large bowl, beat together sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until well combined. Add the sifted flour mixture and beat well. Stir in zucchini and walnuts until evenly mixed into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean, 40 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans and place them directly on the wire rack to cool completely.
