  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 8x4 inch Loaf Pans
  • Large Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Wire Rack
  • Toothpicks

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Mixing Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combining and Baking
  1. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined, then fold in the grated zucchini. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and bake for 40-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
  1. Let the zucchini bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Ensure zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy bread. Store leftover zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
