2 cups Grated Unpeeled Zucchini
3 whole Large Eggs
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Almond Extract
1 cup Vegetable Or Canola Oil
1 cup Caramel Bits (you Can Find These In The Baking Aisle-if Your Store Doesn't Carry Them, You Can Use Regular Caramels-just Unwrap And Chop Enough To Equal 1 Cup)
1 cup Pecans, Finely Chopped
3 cups All-purpose Flour
1 box (4-serving Size) Butterscotch Instant Pudding Mix
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9x5-inch OR five 5x3-inch loaf pans; set aside.
2
Grate the unpeeled zucchini using the large holes on a box grater; place in a colander and press down on the zucchini, letting excess liquid drain out. Set aside while assembling other ingredients.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and almond extract and canola oil until light.
4
Squeeze excess moisture out of shredded zucchini; then stir it into the egg mixture. Stir in caramel bits and pecans. Set aside.
5
In a medium bowl, combine flour, butterscotch pudding mix, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; mix well. Add this to the egg mixture; stir just until combined.
6
Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes for the large loaves and 35-40 minutes for the small loaves, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Let breads cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes; then remove from pans to a wire rack and cool completely. Makes 2 large or 5 small loaves.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
