Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 0.5 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 2 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 0.5 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 0.75 cup Vegetable Oil or other neutral oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Zucchini about 2 medium zucchini, do not peel or squeeze dry

Equipment

  • 1 9x5 Inch Loaf Pan
  • 1 Box Grater
  • 2 Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Grate zucchini using a box grater and gently pat with a paper towel to absorb excess water, but do not squeeze it dry.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until light. Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix: Mix only until the flour is just incorporated to ensure a tender crumb.
Cool completely: Letting the loaf cool completely is crucial for clean slices and for the flavor to fully develop.
