2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
1/2 cup butter (melted)
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with raw sugar on top.
