Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted unsalted butter)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini), squeezed of excess moisture
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and dried oregano (if using).
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula just until combined and no dry streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
