Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for you to try at home.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Grate the zucchini and set it aside to drain in a sieve or colander to remove excess moisture.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy.
  4. Incorporate Zucchini: Gently stir the grated and drained zucchini into the wet mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. If you’re adding nuts or raisins/chocolate chips, fold them in gently.
  5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your homemade zucchini bread with a cup of tea or coffee, or simply as a delightful snack any time of day. This recipe not only makes for a delicious treat but also sneaks in some nutritious veggies for a wholesome bite!
