1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, ½ cup buttermilk, 2 cups grated zucchini
Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. Do not overmix.
Spread batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool loaf for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and cooling the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
Return zucchini bread to a loaf pan, wrapped in plastic wrap to store.

Notes

Storage:

To Store: Store wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container, refrigerated or on the counter, for 1 week.
To Freeze: Freeze up to 3 months, wrapped in plastic wrap and inside a freezer Ziploc bag. For thawing, place on the countertop.

Tips:

If you have an abundance of zucchini, you can use the grating attachment on your food processor to process large batches quickly. Freeze any extra in 2 cup portions and use it for more zucchini bread in the future.
