  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Bowl 1

  • 2 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, optional
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini, 12 ounces, about 2 zucchini

Bowl 2

  • 1/2 cup butter, (1 stick) melted
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, light olive oil, etc
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar*, packed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Optional

  • 1 cup chocolate chips, I used half mini, half dark chocolate chopped
  • 3/4 cup toasted walnuts, or pecans
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar, or granulated sugar, to top bread

Instructions

  • Prep your pan and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly. If you’re adding nuts, toast them now for extra flavor.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom (if using).
  • Combine wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, brown sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Shred the zucchini: Use the large holes of a box grater to shred the zucchini. Blot it well with paper towels or give it a quick squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  • Bring it all together: Stir the shredded zucchini into the dry ingredients until evenly coated. Then, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Add your mix-ins: If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in before the batter is fully mixed. This helps distribute them without overworking the batter.
  • Bake to perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and sprinkle the top with raw sugar or extra chocolate chips. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (watch for melted chocolate!).
  • Cool and enjoy: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling. Slice and serve at room temperature or warm

Notes

How to serve zucchini bread in style

Zucchini bread is at its best when slightly warm, with a pat of salted butter or cream cheese spread on top. For a dessert-like twist, drizzle with a little honey or chocolate sauce. Pair it with coffee or tea for an afternoon pick-me-up. If you’re hosting, serve slices on a wooden board with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a rustic touch. A scoop of vanilla ice cream transforms it into an easy dessert!
