Greek Yogurt Zucchini Bread is a moist, flavorful twist on the classic zucchini bread, using Greek yogurt to add richness and tang. This bread combines the natural sweetness of zucchini with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, while the Greek yogurt keeps it extra tender and adds a subtle creaminess. It’s a perfect way to use up summer zucchini or simply enjoy a healthier, slightly lighter version of a beloved treat. The result is a deliciously soft, slightly tangy loaf that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
