Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until light and frothy.
Incorporate the white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gently combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture without overmixing. If you're using add-ins, fold them in now.
Grease and flour two 8.5 by 4.5 inch loaf pans. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the batter for added sweetness and crunch, if desired.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for ten minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

Ensure your zucchini is well grated for the best texture.
Feel free to customize the add-ins based on your preferences.
Storing in an airtight container will keep it fresh for several days.
