Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour 280 grams
  • 1 cup white sugar 200 grams
  • 2 tsp baking soda 9 grams
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon 8 grams, adjust to your taste if desired
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/5 gram , optional
  • 1 tsp salt 8 grams
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups grated zucchini 240 grams
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil avocado or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract 14 grams
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 90 grams, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard 100 grams
  • 1.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Flour and grease two 8x4 inch pans or line with parchment paper.
  • Use the large side of a box grater to shred the zucchini. Do not blot the excess moisture off of the zucchini.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl of a stand mixer. Add the vegetable oil, grated zucchini, vanilla extract, brown sugar and sourdough discard and mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just combined. Stir in the nuts, if using.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to baking rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, take care not to over mix.  Mixing too much can cause the bread to become tough instead of tender. 
  • For moist and tender bread, remove it from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out dry, taking care not over bake.  
  • I like to use sourdough discard that is 48 hours old or less.  You can use older discard, it will just add more tang to the dough.
