Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two 8x4'' bread pans with cook spray. I also like to line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl beat together the white sugar, brown sugar and oil. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Grate the entire zucchini (peel on) on the large holes of a box grater, using light pressure. If the zucchini is extra watery use a paper towel to gently squeeze some of the moisture out.
- In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 50 minutes to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

MOM'S ZUCCHINI BREAD
I've tried a lot of zucchini bread over the years, but my mother's recipe is still my favourite one ... lemon, orange, ginger and nutmeg give it a nice light flavour. Start checking for doneness at 45 minutes, don't let it overbake! :)

Steps:
- In mixer, beat together all ingredients except zucchini, nuts, and flour. In grating the lemon peel, I find it much faster & easier to just use the small side of a standard cheese grater than to use a lemon zester. The peel from about half a medium-sized lemon should do fine.
- Mix well, then add in nuts and grated zucchini. Slowly mix in flour.
- Bake in greased 9" X 5" loaf pan, at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes (until test knife comes out clean or top of loaf springs back when pressed with finger; do not overbake).

Tips:
- For a moist and dense zucchini bread, use a mixture of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
- Grate the zucchini finely to evenly distribute the moisture throughout the bread.
- Use ripe bananas to add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.

- Let the zucchini bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
