- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine grated zucchini, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Step 6: If using, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Step 8: Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Step 9: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Wrap your zucchini bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. It can be stored at room temperature for a few days or frozen for up to 3 months.
