Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated (do not squeeze out moisture)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix as this may result in a dense loaf.
Fold in the grated zucchini, along with the walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips (if using). Ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve plain, with butter, or alongside coffee or tea. Enjoy!
