Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchinis (shredded)
1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
½ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
