- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded zucchini

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Add-Ins:
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
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.
