Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups grated zucchini
  • ¼ Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Teaspoon baking soda
  • Cup butter (melted)
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cup milk
  • ¾ Cup sugar
  • Cups flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in microwave for 30-60 seconds until melted. In the meantime, grate 2 cups of zucchini into a large mixing bowl.
  • In the bowl, add salt and baking soda and stir to combine. Mix in melted butter.
    Add egg, vanilla extract, milk and sugar. Stir until combined.
  • Add flour and stir to combine. Pour batter into a greased 9×5 loaf pan. This batter also bakes well in an 8×8 pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For egg allergies, substitute one egg for 1/4 cup of vegetable oil or 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce.
You may substitute the 3/4 cup of sugar for 3/4 cup of maple syrup. 
This batter yields 12-16 muffins. If using the batter for muffins, fill pan sprayed muffin tins or cupcake liners two-thirds of the way full with the cinnamon zucchini quick bread batter. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until baked thoroughly.
