Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Grate the zucchini with a box grater. Lightly blot excess moisture if overly wet.

- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in the zucchini until evenly distributed.

- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini is well-blotted to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
- For added flavor, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
