Greek Yogurt Zucchini Bread 🥒😋
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups grated zucchini (excess water squeezed out)
¼ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the grated zucchini.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
Squeeze out all moisture from zucchini to prevent a soggy loaf.
