Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
  • ½ cup chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and set aside without squeezing the moisture.
  4. In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients until well combined.
  6. In another bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  8. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
  9. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not squeeze the moisture from the zucchini because it keeps the bread soft and moist.
Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender texture.
Add chocolate chips for a sweeter dessert-style bread.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
This bread freezes well for up to 3 months.
