Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 250g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease mini loaf pans or line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. You should have about 2 cups (250g) of damp zucchini.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  6. Fold in grated zucchini and optional nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  7. Divide batter evenly among six mini loaf pans, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool loaves in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or wrapping.

Notes

Dry the zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy bread. Do not overmix the batter to keep the crumb tender. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Grease pans well or use parchment to prevent sticking. Watch baking time closely as mini loaves bake faster than full-sized ones. Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly.
