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
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Zucchini (grated)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract and whisk together until smooth.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and optional mix-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
