• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup zucchini
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries (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 for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well mixed and smooth.

Step 4

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Measure 1 cup and gently squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

Stir the grated zucchini and milk into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and/or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as is or with your favorite spread. Enjoy your zucchini oatmeal bread!
