Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper.
- Grate about 2 cups of zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Fold the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture gently until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet zucchini mixture, folding gently with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using, fold in the chopped almonds and/or dark chocolate chips or raisins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes
For a sweeter bread, increase maple syrup to 1/2 cup. Swap oat flour with all-purpose flour if needed. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. To make ahead, freeze the cooled loaf wrapped in plastic wrap and foil for up to 3 months. Don't skip squeezing the zucchini; too much moisture makes the bread soggy. Serve toasted with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
