Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sourdough starter discard
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 ¾ cup grated zucchini

Topping

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Place it in a colander, gently squeeze out the excess liquid, and let it sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sugars, eggs, sourdough discard, vanilla, and oil. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until everything is combined—be careful not to over mix. Then fold in the grated zucchini.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle on the walnuts and sugar for the topping. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
