Making Spiced Zucchini Bread

Prepare the Zucchini:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

Prepare Wet Ingredients:

  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, granulated sugar, and Greek yogurt until well combined. Set aside.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Combine and Fold:

  • Add the grated zucchini to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

  1. Omg!!! My neighbor gave me a bunch of garden fresh zucchini. I made this recipe and everyone loved it.

  2. Just made this! I did make a few healthy substitutions, for my toddler and dieting hubby, and it is so delicious! I substituted half whole wheat flour and half regular, used 1.5 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice since I didn’t have all the other spices, used only 1/2 cup sugar, and cut the oil in half as well (I used coconut oil). Perfect amount of flavour and no guilt putting butter on fresh out of the oven!
