A wholesome zucchini bread made with Greek yogurt, no refined sugar, and natural sweeteners like maple syrup and ripe bananas. This bread is moist, tender, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt, full fat or 2%
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) melted coconut oil or unsalted butter, cooled
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cups (about 250g) grated zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold the grated zucchini into the batter evenly without overworking.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy bread. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Fold batter gently to keep bread tender. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Optional toppings: chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch. Can be adapted for gluten-free or vegan diets.
