Equipment

  • Two 4" x 8" loaf pans or two 12-hole muffin tins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups grated zucchini, drained
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped, optional
  • ½ cup raisins optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans or grease 24 medium-sized muffin tins OR line with paper liners or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Drain in a colander for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl mix eggs, vanilla, and oil together.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add egg mixture and gently mix until completely combined.
  • Add grated zucchini and combine but don't overmix.
    If adding nuts, raisins, coconut, dates, or chocolate chips, add now and mix gently.
  • Pour the batter into TWO prepared loaf pans or 24 muffin tins.
  • Bake the loaves for about 50-60 minutes, or the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool another 20 minutes.
  • Store at room temperature, loosely covered. If you want to freeze, cool completely, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then store in an airtight zip top bag or container.
