Ingredients

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
Turbinado sugar or other crystallized brown sugar, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

Stir the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. When cominbed, mix in the oats. Make a well in the center of the ingredients. Whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla together in a small bowl and pour the mixture into the well. Combine lightly, then stir in the zucchini. Do not overmix.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, mounding it up in the center. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar if you wish. Bake for 60 or 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack covered with a clean dish towel to prevent indentations. Let the bread cool at least 10 minutes longer before slicing. The bread can be served warm or at room temperature. It keeps well and makes good toast, too.

Variation: Brown-Sugar Carrot Bread

Replace the zucchini with 2 cups grated carrot. Because the carrots are a little starchier, reduce the oats to 3/4 cup.

Very very good bread
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My entire family and I love this bread. I went for broke and made a double batch on my first try...totally great!!! One... thing I did differently is squeeze out the extra liquid from the zuke; the one i got from the garden was huge and watery. Its hard to believe that anyone has anything negative to say about this recipe. If its done right, it comes out right!!! Enjoy folks! Read more

Love this bread
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've tried quite a few recipes and decided I love this one because you really get the zucchini with a tiny hint of the... cinnamon, although I made a few changes: I substituted 3/4 cup apple sauce for the vegetable oil cut the granulated sugar down to 3 tblsp added 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. I also made mine into muffins for easier grab and go readiness which cut the time down quite a but, probably by about half, but to be honest I just checked it every ten minutes or so until they looked good.Read more

Almost Perfect
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best zucchini bread recipe I've found - and I've tried a ton thanks to all the squash in the garden. Unlike the... other loaves, this is not cloyingly sweet, just moist and light. Next time I would add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.Read more

I made these into muffins and added chocolate chips to some (those were the best). It cut the cooking time in half. They... kept very well in the fridge and were perfect for breakfast.Read more
