- 2 cups Raw Zucchini - shredded
- 3 Eggs - room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups Sugar
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 cups Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons 2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat oven to 350° if you're making bread or 425° for muffins. Butter and flour a 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan, if you're making muffins instead of bread, then place a dozen cupcake liners into a muffin pan and then lightly spray with cooking spray.
Shred zucchini with a box grater and place in a small mesh strainer. Press or squeeze with hands to get excess liquid out.
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and oil and then set bowl aside. To a separate bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, stir to combine dry mixture.
Slowly whisk the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in drained zucchini and stir to combine.
For Zucchini Bread
Pour the batter into a buttered and floured loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick, inserted in center, comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in loaf pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack.
For Zucchini Muffins
Place a spoonful of the batter into each cupcake liner, filling them no more than halfway, remember they will rise in the oven. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425° and then drop the temperature down to 375° for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. **Every oven is different, so it may take up to 35 minutes, but check the muffins regularly after the 20 minute mark.
