This Ultimate Zucchini Bread takes a classic and makes it even better—super moist, perfectly spiced, and easy to whip up in just one bowl.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, packed)
Optional Mix-Ins:
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 tsp orange zest for a citrus twist
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the grated zucchini—it adds moisture without needing extra liquid.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. If using mix-ins, fold them in now.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
