Description

This zucchini bread recipe turns fresh garden zucchini into a sweet, moist loaf with a tender crumb and warm spice. Easy, comforting, and packed with flavor.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or raisins


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Stir in the grated zucchini.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in any optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not peel the zucchini. Lightly squeeze out excess moisture if very wet. For large zucchinis, remove tough seeds before grating. Bread stays moist for several days and freezes well.
