Ingredients
- – 1 ½ cups (360 ml) grated zucchini – (about 1-2 small to medium zucchinis)
- – ¾ cup (150 g) sugar
- – ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla
- – 2 eggs
- – 1 ½ cups (180 g) flour
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) cinnamon
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) baking powder
- – ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cinnamon
Instructions
- Set your oven to a temperature of 350°F. Prepare an 8-inch loaf pan by lining it with nonstick foil and applying a coat of cooking spray. In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs, stirring thoroughly.
- In another, smaller bowl, blend together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder using a whisk. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, mixing until everything is well combined.
- For the cinnamon swirl, whisk together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Pour one-third of the batter into the prepped loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Add another third of the batter, followed by the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Finish with the final third of the batter on top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Depending on your oven’s settings, altitude, or humidity, you might need to extend the baking time, so check every 5 minutes after the initial 35 minutes.
Notes
- Consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for added fiber and nutrients.
- Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger to enhance the loaf’s flavor profile.
- Incorporate chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter for extra texture and taste.
