Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined. Stir in the oil and vanilla extract.
Add the grated zucchini to the wet mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
You can substitute part of the granulated sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
The zucchini can be grated ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
