Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Combine dry ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Combine zucchini and wet ingredients:

In another bowl, beat together zucchini, oil, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. The batter will be quite thick.

Bake the zucchini bread:

Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 190 F in the center or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

How many zucchini is that? 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini is about 1 to 1.5 medium zucchinis, or about 7 oz by weight.

Storage: Store leftover zucchini bread at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. The fridge will make it stale more quickly.

To keep it fresh for longer, freeze it in slices (in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet), then pack the slices into a sealed freezer bag for longer storage.
