Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl

Alternate adding the grated zucchini and the dry ingredients, mixing until incorporated

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until toothpick in center tests clean

Notes

If zucchini was grated and then frozen, it will thaw with a significant volume of liquid. Use all the grated zucchini and at least 3/4 of the liquid. Batter will be runnier, but needs this liquid to bake a moist loaf.
