Print Recipe

A quick and easy zucchini bread recipe using just five main ingredients and one bowl, perfect for summer with a moist, tender texture and subtle sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (170g) grated zucchini (with skin)
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150g) sugar (granulated or brown sugar)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil (canola or light olive oil)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. No need to squeeze out excess water; if very watery, lightly pat with a paper towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs until smooth and slightly glossy.
  4. Add the grated zucchini to the wet mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  5. Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid tough bread. Keep eggs at room temperature for better mixing and rise. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Cool bread on wire rack to prevent sogginess. Optional add-ins include cinnamon, nutmeg, nuts, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries.
