Citrus Cranberry Zucchini Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 orange, zested
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch ground ginger

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare two 8x4-inch loaf pans by greasing them.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set the bowl aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the sugar and eggs until well combined. Then, beat in the oil until it's fully blended. Stir in the zucchini, cranberries, orange zest, and lemon extract. Next, add the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and ginger, stirring to combine. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take about 20 minutes.
