Ingredients
2¼ cups granulated sugar
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
- Add flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the grated zucchini until evenly incorporated.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans, filling no more than ⅔ full.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans briefly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Allow bread to cool completely before slicing and storing in an airtight container.
Notes
Add nuts or seeds (walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds) for extra crunch.
Mix in chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
Swap all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend if needed.
Experiment with spices like nutmeg or cloves for more depth.
Freezes well for up to 3 months when wrapped tightly.
