Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the zucchini: Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Don't overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf. Use fresh zucchini for the best texture and flavor. Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
