Description

This recipe yields a moist and flavorful zucchini bread, perfect for a snack or breakfast.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups (227 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (213 g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2½ cups grated zucchini (12-16 oz.)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Grease an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan or a 10 x 5-inch loaf pan if using a larger amount of zucchini. For easy removal, line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper that hangs over the edges.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and kosher salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lightly beaten eggs.
  4. Add the grated zucchini to the flour mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Add the dry ingredients (flour and zucchini mixture) to the wet ingredients (sugar, oil, egg mixture) and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you have an instant-read thermometer, it should register 205ºF (96˚C) or above. (Note: Every oven is different, and different pans conduct heat differently — be patient with the cooking. It may take 20-30 minutes more. With the longer cooking time, the bread shouldn’t burn, but if you are noticing the bread getting too brown, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.)
  8. Let the bread cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • The recipe suggests using a 10 x 5-inch loaf pan if using as much as a pound of zucchini.
  • For easy removal, line the pan with parchment paper that hangs over the edges.
  • Baking time can vary based on oven and pan; be patient and check for doneness with a toothpick or thermometer.
  • If the bread is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
