Calories: 324kcal
Cost: Recipe $4.34 / Serving $0.87
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs ($0.45)
- 1 cup vegetable oil ($0.70)
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract ($0.09)
- ½ cup granulated sugar ($0.18)
- 1 cup brown sugar ($0.44)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour ($0.39)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder ($0.05)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda ($0.01)
- 1 teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon ($0.24)
- 3 cups zucchini, finely shredded, about 2 medium ($1.78)
Instructions
- Preheat. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease 5 mini loaf pans.
- Prep zucchini. Wash and shred the zucchini. Spread it on paper towels and let it rest to absorb excess moisture while preparing the batter.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Combine batter. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Add zucchini. Stir in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
- Bake. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Zucchini amount. Up to 4 cups shredded zucchini can be used. Make an extra mini loaf and monitor baking time closely.
- Texture. Finely shredded zucchini blends into the bread while adding moisture. Green flecks are normal.
- Doneness. Zucchini releases moisture as it bakes. If the center sinks, the bread needs additional baking time.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing. Wrap loaves tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
