Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup chopped nuts optional
  • 0.5 cup raisins or chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • Grater
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Loaf Pan
  • Baking Parchment
  • Toothpick
  • Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini with a pinch of salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the drained zucchini and any optional mix-ins.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Step 7: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
