A moist and flavorful zucchini bread sweetened with stevia instead of sugar, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, lightly packed)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup stevia powder (baking-grade, e.g., Truvia)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse and trim the zucchini ends, then grate using a grater or food processor attachment. Do not squeeze out moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, stevia powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy (about 2 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini and any optional nuts, coconut, or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  9. Cool the bread on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
