Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease only the bottoms of two 9x5 inch loaf pans with non-stick spray or butter.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, measure out the low-fat vanilla yogurt. Add the sugar and whisk together until the mixture is creamy and slightly thick, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Incorporate the vegetable oil into the yogurt-sugar mixture, mixing until well blended.
4
Stir in the shredded zucchini and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
5
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, along with baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a whisk to avoid over-mixing.
7
Once the batter is combined, use a spatula to fold any remaining pockets of flour until just mixed; do not overwork the batter.
8
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
9
Place the loaf pans into the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes. Use a toothpick to test for doneness—the toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
10
If not fully baked, return to the oven and continue baking, checking every 5-10 minutes. Baking can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes depending on your oven.
11
Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring the loaves onto a wire rack to cool completely.
