Shred about 1.5 cups of zucchini in a bowl, keeping the juice.

Add 2 large room temperature eggs to a mixing bowl.

Add 0.5 cup of grape seed oil, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and a handful of light brown sugar to the eggs.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 0.5 teaspoon of nutmeg.

Mix the dry ingredients together and then add them to the wet mixture, mixing until the flour is just about disappeared.

Add the shredded zucchini along with all the juice and stir until well combined.

Optionally, fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan that has been sprayed with pan baking spray.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for 45 minutes, checking for doneness after that time.
