– ½ tsp baking powder
– ½ tsp salt
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs

Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. In my kitchen, I always take a moment to get the oven warm before I start mixing. It just helps everything bake evenly! Next, use a box grater to grate the zucchini. I like to squeeze out some excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel, but don’t wring it completely dry—some moisture is what makes this bread so soft! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
