Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (119ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups (approximately 152g) shredded zucchini

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Add oil and both sugars to a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
  4. Mix in cinnamon, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in flour mixture until just combined (mixture will be thick). Add zucchini and stir until evenly distributed. Mixture will become looser and more pourable.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 50-60 minutes (9×5-inch pan) or 55-65 minutes (8×4-inch pan), or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not peel or squeeze liquid from zucchini. The moisture keeps the bread moist.
  • Shred zucchini using large holes of box grater.
  • 8×4-inch pan creates a more domed loaf; 9×5-inch pan bakes flatter.
  • Add ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts after stirring in zucchini if desired.
  • If using frozen zucchini, thaw completely and pat dry with paper towels before adding.
