This moist and flavorful zucchini bread is the perfect way to use up fresh summer zucchini! Lightly spiced and perfectly sweet, it’s a simple recipe that comes together quickly. Whether served warm with butter, or loaded with chocolate chips, this classic loaf is sure to become a favorite!

Ingredients

  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • cup unsalted butter melted
  • cup light brown sugar packed
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup finely grated zucchini*

Optional Add-ins

  • chocolate chips
  • chopped nuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a metal bread pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In one of the bowls, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside for later.
    2 cup all purpose flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt, 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Add the butter and sugars to a separate large bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until all the butter is incorporated. Then add the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until smooth.
    ⅓ cup unsalted butter, ⅔ cup light brown sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Add the shredded zucchini and mix on low speed until incorporated throughout the batter.

  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir by hand until there aren't any more pockets of flour. Don't overmix. (Add in other optional mix-ins at this point.)
  • Add the batter to the oiled bread pan and smooth over the top. Bake for about 40-50 minutes. The bread will be done when the center is set and firm. You can also test if the bread is done by poking the center with a toothpick--if it comes out clean or with only a few crumbs on it, then the bread is done.

  • Immediately remove bread from the pan and let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 20 minutes before eating.
    Enjoy!

Notes

*The size that you grate your zucchini may change the amount that you use. If you grate large pieces, add another ¼ cup (1 ½ cup total). If you prefer really small chunks, feel free to use a zester (in which case you'll only need 1 cup of zested zucchini, and make sure to slightly blot off some of the excess liquid with a paper towel).
I used a medium-sized grater for this recipe because I prefer my chunks of zucchini to be small but still part of the overall texture. This all depends on your personal preference!
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
