Ingredients

  • 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
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (approximately 152g) shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup (136g) fresh blueberries (see note)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x4-inch or 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  • Add oil, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
  • Mix in cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Stir in flour, mixture will be thick. Add zucchini and stir until combined – mixture will get looser and more pourable after stirring in zucchini. Fold in blueberries gently.
  • 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

  • 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.
  • The 8x4-inch loaf will bake more domed, while the 9x5-inch pan will be flatter.
  • Be sure to fold the blueberries in carefully so they don’t sink to the bottom of the loaf. I also like to sprinkle some extra on top before baking.
  • You can use frozen berries but be sure they are completely thawed and drained really well so there is not too much water added to the bread.
