Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup (76g/80ml) avocado oil, olive oil, or melted coconut oil*
- 1/2 cup (180g/120ml) honey*
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain greek yogurt, at room temperature*
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (130g) shredded zucchini (see note)*
- optional: 2 teaspoons orange zest (so good!)
- optional: 3/4 cup (95g) chopped walnuts, (115g) raisins/dried cranberries, or (135g) chocolate chips
- optional: coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oil, honey, egg, yogurt, and vanilla, whisking until well mixed.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in the zucchini, orange zest, and any additional ingredients if desired.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly. If preferred, sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, loosely tenting with foil halfway to avoid over-browning. Test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
- Take the bread out of the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 1 hour. After cooling, transfer it out of the pan to finish cooling on the rack.
- Slice and enjoy! Store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
The zucchini should be shredded and can be lightly packed for best results.
For a sweeter bread, consider adding chocolate chips or dried fruit as optional mix-ins.
