Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Zucchini, shredded
- 1 cup Granola
- 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans (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 large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded zucchini, granola, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, or with butter or cream cheese spread. Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
