Calories: 204kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup (135 g) finely grated zucchini, do not drain liquid out
- 1 cup (120 g) finely grated carrot, do not drain liquid out
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (53 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add finely grated zucchini and carrot (do not drain/squeeze any liquid out!), granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 48 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.
Recommended Equipment
Notes
- 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.
- As written, this bread is lightly sweetened. For a sweeter bread, add an additional ¼ cup of granulated sugar.
