Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup avocado oil, olive oil, or melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- optional: 2 teaspoons orange zest
- optional: 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips
- optional: coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oil, honey, egg, yogurt, and vanilla, whisking until well mixed.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together, being careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the zucchini, orange zest, and any add-ins if desired.
- Evenly spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If you like, sprinkle some coarse sugar on top before baking.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, tenting with foil halfway through to prevent browning. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 1 hour, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
The bread can be customized with your favorite mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
Ensure the zucchini is well shredded to incorporate into the batter smoothly.
This bread makes a great snack or a quick breakfast option.
