- 1½ cups All-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Baking powder
- ½ tsp. Baking soda
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon powder
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil
- ½ cup Honey
- 1 Egg (large)
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Grated Zucchini (squeezed of excess moisture)
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Lightly grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon powder until evenly combined.
- Add Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture. Fold the zucchini into the batter gently without over-mixing.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Squeeze zucchini well to prevent excess moisture in the bread.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor if desired.
