Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 baking flour)
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a healthier option)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Grated zucchini
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, stirring until incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed. If using optional add-ins like walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
