Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups shredded)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
½ cup olive oil or melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Grate the zucchinis and let them drain while preparing the batter.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs and mix in sugar, oil or butter, and vanilla until combined.
Fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown; check with a toothpick to ensure it's done.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
