Healthy Zucchini Bread
Check out this gorgeous zucchini bread that’s brimming with goodness:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or Swerve for sugar-free)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the grated zucchini and nuts or chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy your delicious, healthy zucchini bread!
