Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Canola nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
1/3 cup (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
One 8-ounce zucchini (about 1 large), shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Adjust rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
Whisk together the butter, oil, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Fold in the zucchini.
Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Gently stir the zucchini mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake, rotating the pan about halfway through, until puffed and golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
