Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
