Spiced Zucchini Bread with Greek Yogurt
I’ve got a delicious Spiced Zucchini Bread made with Greek Yogurt recipe to share with you! One of the guys my husband plays softball with handed me a bag of zucchini, so I thought I’d play around with some recipes. My mom let us create our own recipes all the time when I was a kid during the summer. It gave me great freedom in my cooking/baking as an adult to try all the crazy ideas that pop into my head. So I thought I’d try making a spicier version and use Greek yogurt. Friends… this is a MUST try recipe… so good!!!

Making Spiced Zucchini Bread
Prepare the Zucchini:

- 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.

Omg!!! My neighbor gave me a bunch of garden fresh zucchini. I made this recipe and everyone loved it.
This looks extremely delicious! I’ve always loved zucchini bread! Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!
What are the dimensions of your bread pan? I used a 9×5 loaf pan and it overflowed in the oven.
Just a standard size… how strange!
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!
So smart Chae… I’ll have to try that too.
Each recipe looks so yummy. I can’t wait to try your zucchini bread. Pinned.
hi! I noticed the zucchini is listed twice..is it just an error?
This looks delish!
