Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Whisk until fluffy.
  3. In another bowl, mix together sugar and melted butter. Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet ingredients into dry ingredients; mix gently until just blended.
  5. Fold in grated zucchini and any optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  8. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
