Ingredients

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons (6 g) baking powder
½ teaspoon (3 g) baking soda
1 tablespoon (6 g) lemon zest
1 teaspoon (5 g) salt
2 large eggs
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (83 ml) melted unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (28 ml) vegetable or canola oil
1 teaspoon (4.2 g)vanilla extract
2 cups (380 g) fresh zucchini , grated

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, melted butter, oil, vanilla extract, and grated zucchini. Stir until smooth and sugar dissolves.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until fully combined. Do not over mix.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove bread from the pan. Let the bread cool before slicing. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

Store any leftover Zucchini Bread in a container and keep refrigerated for up to 5 days. You can store it at room temperature for 2 days, but just to be sure, just place it in the fridge.
Depending on your oven's heating capability, if you see that your loaf is browning too much on top, place a tin foil on top of the bread until they're finished baking.
Before freezing this Zucchini Bread, make to sure let it cool down first and wrap it in plastic wrap and in aluminum foil. Freeze it up for up to a month.
