Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini (do not squeeze dry)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. This is your dry mix.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry mix and whisk briefly to combine.
  4. In a separate, smaller bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini. If you are using them, fold in the nuts or chocolate chips now. Remember, do not squeeze the moisture from the zucchini; this keeps the bread moist.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve this tender zucchini loaf.

Notes

  • For the best results and maximum moisture, leave the grated zucchini as is; do not press out the liquid.
  • This recipe makes two loaves, so consider doubling the ingredients if you want to freeze one for later.
  • If you prefer a sweeter top crust, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
