Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom of two 8x4'' bread pans a piece of parchment paper, and spray the pans lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar and oil until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Grate the entire zucchini (peel on) on the large holes of a box grater, using light pressure. Use a paper towel to gently squeeze some of the moisture out, then lightly measure it into measuring cups (don't pack down).
- In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. (If the loaves are browning too much on top during baking, tent a piece of foil over top until they're finished baking).
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
