Ingredients

  • 2 cups zucchini grated, 2 cups grated zucchini is equivalent to 2 small zucchini or 1 large zucchini
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix until just combined.  Do not over mix.
  • Divide between two greased  9" loaf pans.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

Notes

  • Selecting a Zucchini: Choose a firm zucchini that's green on the outside and no visible bad spots. Plan on one large zucchini or two small ones for enough grated zucchini to make this recipe.
  • Grating: You can use a box grater, a food processor, or the grating tool for a Kitchenaid stand mixer.  You can also use a fork to shred the zucchini. Before grating, cut both ends off of the zucchini. Grate the zucchini over a bowl or cutting board as much of the zucchini as possible.
  • Testing for doneness: While baking time is a guide, to test for doneness of your zucchini loaf, insert a wooden toothpick into center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean the quick bread is done. You can also gently touch the top of the bread. If it springs back, it is done. If it leaves and indent, it needs more time. Alternately, you can use a thermometer to check the internal temperature. The center should be 210 degrees when it is cooked thru.
  • Storing: This quick bread will keep at room temperature for several days. Just store in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap.
