Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup white sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (Optional)

Instructions

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Make sure your zucchini is finely grated for better blending into the batter. Use ripe bananas for optimal flavor.
