  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed of excess moisture

Instructions

  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor and texture, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips to the batter along with the zucchini.
