Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Stir in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using nuts, fold them in now.
  6. 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.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh zucchini and grate it just before adding it to the batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf. 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.
