Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the zucchini: Wash and grate the zucchini. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in zucchini and nuts: Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Don't overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Use fresh zucchini for the best texture and flavor. Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips or raisins. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
