Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour) Whole wheat flour yields a denser loaf.
  • 0.5 cups coconut sugar Can substitute with brown sugar or maple syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg For a vegan version, replace with a flax egg.
  • 0.5 cups Greek yogurt Replace with plant-based yogurt for dairy-free.
  • 2 large bananas (mashed) Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
  • 1 large zucchini (shredded) Squeeze out excess moisture for a less watery loaf.
  • 0.5 cups mix-ins (such as chocolate chips or walnuts) Optional additions for flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk until well blended.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and mashed bananas until smooth.
  • Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and mix-ins.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Baking

  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out mostly clean.
  • Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Zucchini bread tastes better the next day. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
