Instructions

Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease four mini loaf pans or two standard loaf pans with cooking spray.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the shredded zucchini, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

4. Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution.

5. Pour and Bake

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve

Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 15-20 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Shredding Zucchini: There’s no need to peel the zucchini; its skin adds nutrients and color. If it’s watery, gently squeeze out excess moisture before adding it to the batter.
Blueberries: Toss them lightly in flour before adding to the batter to prevent sinking during baking.
Customization: Add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
