Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100g) brown sugar
¾ cup (180ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-In
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and lightly flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Baking soda
Baking powder
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Salt
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl:
Beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
Add oil and vanilla extract.
Stir until smooth.
4. Add Zucchini
Fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture.
No need to squeeze out the moisture; it helps keep the bread moist.
5. Combine
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Stir just until combined.
Fold in nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips if using.
6. Bake
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool
Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
