Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Incorporate the Zucchini

Stir the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients.

Step 5: Make the Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Add the Topping

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

Don’t Skip Squeezing the Zucchini: Removing excess moisture ensures your bread isn’t soggy.
Add Nuts or Chocolate Chips: For extra texture and flavor, fold in ½ cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
Make It Ahead: The flavors intensify as the bread sits, making it even better the next day.
