- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sourdough discard, oil, vanilla and sugar. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Add zucchini and stir until incorporated.

Notes
Sourdough discard is the portion of your starter that you throw away after feeding. I always keep mine and put it to use in one way or another. It adds flavor and nutrition to the recipe.
