Ingredients

Scale

1 cup finely shredded zucchini
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon swirl)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded zucchini, eggs, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
For the cinnamon swirl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture on top, then layer with remaining batter and cinnamon mixture. Use a knife to swirl gently.
Bake for 60–65 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
