Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
-
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add honey or maple syrup, applesauce, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
-
Gently fold in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the zucchini bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
