Wet Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated and drained
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Optional Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup nuts (such as walnuts or pecans), chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and grate about two medium zucchinis. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel to prevent sogginess in the bread.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with gentle stirring to keep the batter light. Fold in the drained grated zucchini and any optional nuts or chocolate chips.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
- Drain the zucchini thoroughly to avoid a soggy loaf.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- Check doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Use room temperature eggs and yogurt for better batter consistency.
- Let the bread cool fully on a wire rack for the best texture.
