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
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (130g) shredded zucchini
- optional: 2 teaspoons orange zest
- optional: 3/4 cup (95g) chopped walnuts, raisins/dried cranberries, or 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, whisk together the oil, honey, egg, yogurt, and vanilla until fully combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon by whisking well. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine without overmixing. The batter will be thick. Gently fold in the zucchini, orange zest, and any add-ins if desired.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using, before baking.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes while covering loosely with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Then, remove it from the pan and cool it completely on the rack.
- Slice and serve. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for 1 week.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature ingredients before baking.
Feel free to customize with various add-ins based on your preference.
The bread can also be frozen for longer storage; just wrap it tightly.
