Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, excess moisture squeezed out)
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
0.5 cups vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a healthier option)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
0.25 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, can be omitted if preferred)

Directions

Here’s how to create that mouthwatering loaf:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Stir in the grated zucchini.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
