Ingredients
- 2 cups zucchini grated
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional add-ins:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan (or line with parchment paper for easier removal).
Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate 2 cups of zucchini and set it aside. If the zucchini seems excessively moist, gently squeeze out some of the liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
Fold in Zucchini and Add-ins:
- Fold the grated zucchini into the batter. If you're adding nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, fold them in as well.
Bake the Bread:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious zucchini bread!
