Ingredients
  

Essential Ingredients
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix, as this can lead to a dense loaf.
  5. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts to introduce a delightful crunch.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it’s ready.
  2. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or cream cheese. Pairs well with tea or coffee. Can add chocolate chips, flaxseeds, or chia seeds for added flavor and nutrition.
