Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (119ml) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups (approximately 152g) shredded zucchini
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x4-inch or 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add oil and both sugars to a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Mix in cinnamon, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in flour mixture, mixture will be thick. Add zucchini and stir until combined – mixture will get looser and more pourable after stirring in zucchini.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 50-60 minutes (9x5-inch pan) or 55-65 minutes (8x4-inch) pan, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf.
- Cool before slicing or removing from the pan. Store covered for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes
Substitutions, Variations & Notes:
• Be sure to shred your own zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Do not drain or squeeze liquid out of the zucchini – you need the moisture to keep the bread moist.
• Sugar: I like the mix of brown and granulated but you can omit the brown sugar and use 1 cup granulated if you prefer.
• The 8x4-inch loaf will bake more domed, while the 9x5-inch pan will be flatter.
• Feel free to add in ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips after stirring in zucchini.
