Ingredients
Scale
2 cups grated zucchini
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (for swirl)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
Use a knife to swirl the batter gently to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini for a better texture.
This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For added flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or raisins.
