Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Glaze (Optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • oven
  • 9x5 inch loaf pan
  • large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan; set it aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract; stir in the grated zucchini.
Combine and Bake
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix, then fold in any optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
Bake and Cool
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean; let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with an optional glaze once cooled. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
