Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Zucchini, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
• 0.25 cups Olive oil or melted coconut oil
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cups Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and olive oil, and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gently fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the wet mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve on its own, or spread with butter, cream cheese, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
