Ingredients
1.5cups(220g)finely grated zucchini, do not drain liquid out
¾cup(150g)granulated sugar
½cup(100g)vegetable oil
2large eggs
1teaspoonvanilla extract
2cups(240g)all-purpose flour
½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspooncream of tartar
1teaspooncinnamon
½teaspoonsalt
Topping
3tablespoon(37g)granulated sugar
½teaspooncinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
In a large bowl, add finely grated zucchini (do not drain/squeeze any liquid out), granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for topping. Sprinkle over top of bread until evenly coated (you may not use all of the cinnamon sugar mixture).
Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, OR until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with dry crumbs, or bread reaches 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center (baking times will vary based on your oven and type of pan used).
Allow bread to cool completely on the counter before removing from pan and slicing.
Leftover zucchini bread will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If your bread is very moist/wet, I recommend refrigerating.
Zucchini bread can be frozen for up to 6 months. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap/foil and store in a freezer safe bag or container. Thaw on the counter top for 1 to 3 hours.
There's no need to peel the skin off your zucchini, and no need to drain any liquid from your shredded zucchini. The recipe is written to include this liquid.
