Ingredients

1 & 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (125ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (1 medium) grated zucchini (do not peel or drain the excess moisture)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
In a large bowl, toss together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
1 & 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
1/2 cup (125ml) vegetable oil, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Stir in the grated zucchini.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Spoon batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

Zucchini bread can be placed in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in saran wrap and stored at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

How to freeze:

Once completely cooled, double wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight on the counter to bring to room temperature before serving.

Variations:

Feel free to add in a cup of chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit or berries if you wish. My favorite mix-ins are semi-sweet chocolate chips, walnuts, and blueberries.

Substitutions:

Flour - The all-purpose flour can be substituted with whole wheat flour or half whole wheat and half AP flour. You can also use self-rising flour. Just omit the salt and decrease the baking soda to 1/4 teaspoon.
Vegetable oil - Can be swapped with melted unsalted butter, avocado oil, EV olive oil or any kind of plant-derived oil like canola or safflower oil.
Sugar - You can substitute all or half with brown sugar, coconut sugar or maple sugar (not syrup).
Spice - Feel free to replace some of the cinnamon with nutmeg, cloves or any combination of spices you like.
