Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the zucchini: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture; set aside.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Blend the batter: Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined, then fold in the zucchini and nuts, if using.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips or raisins.
  • This bread stays moist for days—store it wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
