Homemade Zucchini Bread is a delicious and moist quick bread that incorporates grated zucchini into the batter. It’s typically flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sometimes vanilla extract. Here’s a basic recipe outline:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 large zucchini)
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans), chocolate chips, or raisins

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In another bowl, beat together oil (or melted butter) and sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini and any optional additions like nuts or chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Slice and enjoy!

Zucchini bread is great for breakfast or as a snack, and it’s a fantastic way to use up extra zucchini from your garden or local market.
