Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with oil and yogurt until smooth.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, and chives (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini to prevent sogginess.
- You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
