Step-by-Step Instructions for moist zucchini bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it and dusting with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, then add eggs and vanilla.
  4. Mix in the grated zucchini until evenly incorporated.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Add nuts if desired.
  6. Combine remaining sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Layer half the batter in the loaf pan, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then add remaining batter and top with more cinnamon sugar.
  8. Swirl the batter with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Using fresh zucchini is essential for the best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough bread. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to retain moisture.
