Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey or organic blue agave
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • Optional: 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • Optional: 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, honey (or agave), egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon together until well blended.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded zucchini, and add any optional ingredients like orange zest or walnuts.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra moisture, substitute half of the oil with applesauce. You can freeze leftover zucchini for future baking.
