Zucchini Bread

This super moist Zucchini Bread was adapted from my grandmother’s recipe, and it’s exactly like the one you grew up eating, too. No need to squeeze or dry the shredded zucchini—the extra moisture is welcome here!

Ingredients :
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions :
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment and coat with nonstick spray (or grease and flour pan generously).
  2. In a large bowl, add brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. With an electric hand mixer, or vigorously with a whisk by hand, beat until creamy, about 1 minute. Stir in shredded zucchini.
  3. In a second bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. And the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir until just combined; do not over-mix. Scrape into prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake until the bread is firm and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean with a few crumbs attached, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, place on a rack, and cool completely.
