Ingredients

3 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Cup Canola Oil
2 Cups Granulated Sugar

1/2 Cup Sour Cream
4 Cups Zucchini shredded
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon Sugar or to taste

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray two 9×5-inch loaf pans with nonstick spray.
Wipe down the top 1-inch edge all the way around the pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices. Set aside.
3 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoons Baking Soda, 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 2 teaspoons Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
In another bowl, whisk together the oil and sugar. Add in the eggs, sour cream and whisk.
1 Cup Canola Oil, 2 Cups Granulated Sugar, 3 Eggs, 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
Dump in the zucchini shreds and switch to a wooden spoon, stirring again, but be sure to not over mix.
4 Cups Zucchini
Dump the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients and using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon gently fold the ingredients together just until a few streaks of flour remain.
Pour into a bread pan.
Cover the top with cinnamon sugar and bake for 50 minutes. At this point, barely open the oven and slide a piece of tinfoil over the bread, close the door and bake for the remaining 10 minutes
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon Sugar
Once the bread is done, open the oven door, turn off the oven and let the bread rest for 2-3 minutes, no longer, before carefully setting it on the counter for a few more minutes.
At this point, slide a knife around the inside of the pan and carefully turn the bread out into your other hand or onto the cooling rack directly if you are gentle. Place it right side up and allow to cool or be like us and dig in because warm bread is the best! See note**

Notes

If you want to, you can set the bread pan on a cooling rack instead of transferring it out of the pan.

Zucchini bread can be frozen for 3 months.
