Ingredients
- 1 tick butter melted (½ cup)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini lightly squeezed to remove some moisture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a 9x5” or 8'4' loaf pan with non-stick baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar and mix until combined well.
- Then add the yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon and stir together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until there are no large flour lumps remaining.
- Lastly, add the shredded zucchini into the batter and gently fold it in being careful not to over-mix!
- Pour the batter to the prepared loaf pan and gently shake the pan to spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minute then transfer it to a wire rack and to completely cool before slicing.

Notes
- Store zucchini bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- Swap the Greek yogurt for sour cream or even unsweetened applesauce if you'd like.
- Make sure to measure using the spoon and level method when measuring the flour.
- The combination of baking powder and baking soda result in a super light and airy zucchini bread. I highly recommend using both!
- Use the largest setting on a box grater or food processor attachment to grate the zucchini and then gently squeeze or place it in paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Add 1 cup of chocolate chips or raisins or both.
- Add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Use a gluten free one-to-one flour like Bob's Red Mill One-to-One if desired.
