Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 small zucchinis)
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the oil, Greek yogurt (or applesauce), and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the shredded zucchini and optional add-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, blot the shredded zucchini with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Customize with your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or spices.
