Ultra-Moist Zucchini Bread with Cinnamon

  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 slices 1x

Description

This ultra-moist zucchini bread with cinnamon is a one-bowl mix that requires no grating stress and is ready in about an hour. It uses Greek yogurt for tenderness and is perfect for using up garden zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or light olive oil)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini, unpeeled)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, optionally lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl or large jug, whisk the eggs, sugar, oil, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not squeeze the water out of the zucchini; the recipe is balanced to handle the moisture. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature to prevent the oil from seizing. Do not overbake, as the bread continues to cook slightly after removal from the oven. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
