Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup sugar (or sweetener of choice like honey or maple syrup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or other seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Zucchini: Wash and grate the zucchini finely. Lightly squeeze out excess moisture, leaving some juice to keep the bread moist.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in the Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Bring It All Together: Add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients, then gently fold in the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a light texture. Fold in any optional nuts, chocolate chips, or seeds at this point.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Notes

  • Do not over-squeeze the zucchini; some moisture helps keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best richness and texture.
  • Measure flour by fluffing and spooning it into the measuring cup to prevent dense bread.
  • Check doneness starting at 50 minutes to avoid over-baking and dryness.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and enhance flavor.
