Instructions

📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare Oven and Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add oil and vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 4: Combine and Fold

Stir in grated zucchini. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in blueberries (and chocolate chips or lemon zest if using).

Step 5: Add Streusel (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter.

Step 6: Bake

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and fluffy.
If using frozen blueberries, add them directly without thawing.
For a healthier version, substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour and reduce sugar slightly.
Add sour cream or Greek yogurt (¼ cup) for extra moisture and richness.
