Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup finely shredded zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for the cinnamon swirl

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together zucchini, eggs, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices together.
- Gradually combine the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just mixed—do not overmix.
- Prepare the cinnamon-sugar mixture by combining granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Layer half of the batter into the prepared pan followed by half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter and top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar blend; swirl gently to marbelize.
