Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
