Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. Wash and grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs, sugars, vanilla, and oil until well combined. Stir in grated zucchini.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Squeeze out excess water from zucchini for a moist bread.
