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
- 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, combine the oil, honey, egg, yogurt, and vanilla, whisking until well mixed.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick. Fold in the zucchini and optional orange zest and add-ins if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes. Tent with foil halfway through to prevent over-browning. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, cool in the pan on a rack for 1 hour. Then remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store leftover bread at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
You can customize the bread by adding walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips to suit your taste.
Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve the best texture.
