Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  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 vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture until evenly distributed. If using nuts, fold them in as well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense loaf.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. 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. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh zucchini and grate it just before adding it to the batter. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough loaf. Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
