- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in grated zucchini.
