Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated (do not squeeze out moisture)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix as this may result in a dense loaf.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini, along with the walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips (if using). Ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve plain, with butter, or alongside coffee or tea. Enjoy!
