Classic Zucchini Bread
My zucchini bread is moist, flavorful, and so easy to make! It's my family's favorite way to using up my zucchini's from the garden!
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour more for dusting the pan
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups grated fresh zucchini about 2 medium zucchini
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 4 x 3 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, then dust it well with flour and tap out the excess and set it aside.
- Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Add ¼ cup canola oil, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 large eggs to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until combined. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup sour cream, and mix until fully combined.
- Squeeze 1 ½ cups grated fresh zucchini with your hands to remove the excess liquid. You can use paper towels or cheesecloth to keep the zucchini contained. Stir the zucchini into the batter.
- Add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture and mix just until fully combined.
- Add the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the loaf.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before removing the bread from the pan. Let it cool for at least 30 more minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
Room Temp: Store zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
To freeze, wrap the cooled loaf in 2-3 layers of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Then, place it in a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Set it on the counter at room temperature for a couple of hours to thaw.
