Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. Grate the medium-sized zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Add the grated zucchini and nuts if using, and stir gently until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Let cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
