Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) oil
- 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup), washed and shredded
- 1 cup (200 g) cooked and drained chopped bacon (cooled)

- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
