A moist American quick bread flavored with zucchini, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 175°C. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift out the bread.

Step 2
Coarsely grate the zucchini and set it aside.
-
Step 3
Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in the medium mixing bowl.
-
Step 4
Whisk the sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla in the large mixing bowl until smooth and evenly blended.
-
Step 5
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and fold until only a few streaks of flour remain.
-
Step 6
Fold the prepared zucchini into the batter just until evenly distributed.
-
Step 7
Spread the batter in the lined loaf pan. Bake at 175°C until a skewer inserted in the center comes out without wet batter and the center reaches at least 93°C, about 50–60 minutes.
-
Step 8
Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift it out and cool on the wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
