Zucchini bread has been on my bucket list foreeeeever now and I’m so glad I finally got around to it!
I wanted to make one that was on the healthier side (basically something that was acceptable enough to eat for breakfast 😉 ) so I swapped the regular flour for whole wheat to add some fiber, added in yogurt and sprinkled it with walnuts!
It’s moist, heart and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Everything you could want from a zucchini bread and more. I’d recommend topping it with a little yogurt if you miss that cream cheese frosting.

Thank you!
Made this last weekend to bring to my mother-in-law’s house and everyone LOVED it! Thanks for a great recipe.
Oh yay I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Made this – what a hit! I used coconut sugar and it was delicious. It doesn’t say when to add the walnuts but I just mixed it with the dry ingredients.
Yay! So glad to hear that – thanks for letting me know! 🙂 And oops! I’ll update that now, I usually fold in at the end but it totally works to fold in with the dry ingredients as well!
