  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and grating the zucchini. Use a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add vegetable oil, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until combined. Stir in grated zucchini.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use freshly grated zucchini for best flavor and moisture.
  • Adjust spices to taste, adding nutmeg, cloves, or ginger if desired.
  • Fold in nuts or chocolate chips for added texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated up to a week.
