Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut and grated zucchini. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen it slightly.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading 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 from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the zucchini coconut bread as is, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
