Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugars are fully dissolved.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the zucchini: Gently fold in the grated zucchini and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: 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 fresh zucchini for the best texture and flavor. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a dense loaf. Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
