  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the grated zucchini, nuts, and raisins or chocolate chips (if using).
  • Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
