Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed. If using, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use freshly grated zucchini for best results. Customize with chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
