Equipment

9×5-inch loaf pan
Mixing Bowls
Whisk
cooling rack

Ingredients

1.75 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.5 cups vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
0.5 cups brown sugar (packed light or dark)
0.5 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
0.25 cups unsweetened applesauce (or sour cream or Greek yogurt)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1.5 cups shredded zucchini (no need to blot)
1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla together until combined. Whisk in the zucchini.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir or whisk until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts. Batter is slightly thick.
Spread the batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool in pan for 1 hour before removing from pan. You can slice the bread at this point, but it will still be warm in the center.
Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Make ahead by freezing the cooked bread. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
