Zuchinni bread (or muffins)

I got this recipe off of one of one of my favorite cooking blogs "Just cook already" (check it out). My husband will vouch for me when I say this, these are SOOOO good.  I've only made them in muffin form, so the only difference is you use muffin tins instead of a bread pan and you cook them for about 20 min. I also put in a little extra zucchini. Anyway, try them, you will love them.
1 large zucchini
 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil or applesauce
 
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
 

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and set aside. Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater (to yield 1 3/4 cups); set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, oil, vanilla, and eggs.

Into a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, and stir to combine well. Stir in grated zucchini.

Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes; invert onto a wire rack, then reinvert, top side up. Cool completely before slicing.
