1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

2. Grate 1 medium zucchini and gently squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the shredded zucchini gently. Batter will be thick.
6. Pour into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
Don’t overmix your batter—just stir until everything is incorporated for the best texture.
You can add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
