Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (lightly squeezed)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Fold in the grated zucchini.
  • Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in any optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour and use applesauce in place of some of the oil.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—it can make the bread tough.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
