Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the loaf pan with olive oil or cooking spray.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat together brown sugar, eggs, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the well-drained grated zucchini.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. If using, fold in optional add-ins.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
