Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 4 Tablespoon butter melted
- 1 cup zucchini shredded
- 1 egg
- 1 cup kefir or yogurt *see note if using yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Spray a standard size loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- Grate the zucchini with a food processor or mandolin slicer.
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg) in one bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Combine the melted butter with the zucchini, egg, kefir, and vanilla and mix well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, but don't over mix. The batter will be very thick.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. *see note below
- Put in prepared loaf pan and cook for 50-60 minutes, until the top is browned and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Notes
- You can substitute yogurt for the kefir. If the yogurt is thick, like Greek yogurt, add a few tablespoons of milk to thin it out.
- Blueberries tend to sink to the bottom of baked goods, especially frozen blueberries. You can coat the blueberries with 1 Tablespoon of flour before folding them in to help with the sinking. I usually only do this if I am using frozen blueberries.
