Ingredients
- 1 cup grated fresh zucchini

- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
