Zucchini Bread

 INGREDIENTS

  • 1 3/4 cups flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil 
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100ggranulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup applesauce, sour cream, or Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (no need to blot)
  1. INSTRUCTIONS

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9x5" loaf pan. 
  2. 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.
  3. Spread the batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-70 minutes. (I like to loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top.) Baking times vary so keep an eye on yours. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out *mostly* clean with zero raw batter. Remove the bread from the oven and set on a wire rack. Cool in pan for 1 hour before removing from pan. 
  4. Cover and store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
