Use only fresh, in season zucchini. Store bought or out of season zucchini can be dry. If that is your only option, add water to the recipe or sprinkle water over zucchini until it feels moist.
This recipe makes 2 loaves, you can easily divide in in half to make just one loaf. The recipe calls for 4 cups of grated zucchini, which will yield particularly moist loaves. I've made it with 3 cups, which was also very good, just not as sublime as with 4 cups.
We are using almond extract, but you can easily use vanilla extract instead, just use about 4 times as much, so instead of 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract, use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
4 cups grated zucchini (from about a pound and a half of zucchini)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup unsalted butter (12 Tbsp or 1 1/2 sticks), melted
