- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 350˚F and generously coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

- Add zucchini and walnuts: Fold in the drained zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
