Instructions
Position the oven rack to the lower-third position. (Just below the center of the oven.) Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, both sugars, and vanilla together until well combined. Whisk in the zucchini.
In a separate bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir just until there are visible streaks of dry flour.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Shred the zucchini with a box grater. This will yield the best results.
Mix in 1 cup of chopped chocolate/chips, raisins, or nuts if desired.
Make muffins
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and heat the oven to 375°F.
Make the batter as directed and divide it among the prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned and the centers bounce back when pressed lightly.
