There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh zucchini bread baking in the oven on a slow morning. It is one of my favorite ways to use up a garden harvest, and it stays moist for days.

My secret tip is to squeeze as much water as you can out of the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel before you mix it into the batter. This ensures your bread has the perfect texture without being soggy.

🧺 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3
In a separate large bowl, mix the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
4
Stir the grated and squeezed zucchini into the wet ingredients.
5
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or keep it in the fridge to make it last a little longer. It also freezes beautifully if you wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap for a quick snack later.
