Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (grated) Zucchini
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Wash and grate the zucchini, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then mix in the olive oil and milk.
Stir the grated zucchini and chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, dill) into the wet ingredients.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
