Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (240g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (65g)
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar (70g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup olive oil (80ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, 60g)
  • ½ cup raisins or dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5 inch loaf pan lightly with oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the medium holes of a box grater. Do not squeeze out all the moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. In another bowl, beat granulated sugar and brown sugar with eggs until smooth and slightly fluffy (about 2 minutes). Stir in olive oil and vanilla extract.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture gently. Slowly add the dry ingredients, folding just until combined without overmixing.
  6. Fold in optional chopped nuts or raisins if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. Keep some moisture in the zucchini for softness. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Use smaller zucchinis for better texture. Can substitute with gluten-free baking blend or make vegan with flax eggs and coconut oil.
