Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans or spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the shredded zucchini and nuts (if using) until evenly incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
