• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
• ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Stir in the grated zucchini (no need to squeeze out the moisture).
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Mix the Batter:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined (don’t overmix).
   • Fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
5. Bake the Bread:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
   • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool & Serve:
   • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Slice and serve with a smear of butter or cream cheese, or enjoy it as is!
