Prepare wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar. Add grated zucchini, melted butter and vanilla extract; using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir to combine.
Mix ingredients: Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Stir in walnuts and currants, if using.
Bake: Divide batter evenly among prepared pans. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Place pans on a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes, then invert loaves onto rack to cool completely.
