| 1 | Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a loaf pan and set aside. |
| 2 | In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. |
| 3 | In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Stir in vegetable oil and vanilla extract. |
| 4 | Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. |
| 5 | Gently fold in the grated zucchini and frozen blackberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter. |
| 6 | Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. |
| 7 | Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 8 | Check the bread after the first 45 minutes of baking. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. |
| 9 | Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. |
| 10 | Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Blackberry Zucchini Bread! |
