- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter to prevent the bread from becoming too wet.
