Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Prepare two loaf pans by using your favorite cooking spray, butter and flour, or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Peel and grate zucchini. It's okay to leave a little green!
  • In a large bowl: beat together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
  • Add in the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
  • Stir in zucchini. (Batter will thin out.)
