Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) grated and squeezed zucchini
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon zest, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Grate zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel until you have about 1 1/2 cups.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy, then add vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in grated zucchini and blueberries carefully to distribute evenly without crushing the berries.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
  9. Cool bread in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy bread. Fold blueberries gently to prevent bleeding. Let bread cool completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture. Optionally sprinkle extra lemon zest on top before baking for added brightness.
