Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (119ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups (approx. 152g) shredded zucchini
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup dried fruit or shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or butter. Line with parchment if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, mix vegetable oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until fully combined.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently, just until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Stir in shredded zucchini (do not drain or squeeze).
  7. Fold in any optional mix-ins (nuts, chocolate chips, or coconut).
  8. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake 50–60 minutes for a 9×5-inch pan or 55–65 minutes for an 8×4-inch pan, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Slice when completely cool.

Notes

For best flavor, wrap cooled loaf in plastic and rest overnight. In humid climates, store refrigerated to maintain moisture.
