Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful savory zucchini bread made with fresh herbs and crunchy nuts, ideal as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (moisture squeezed out)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, olive oil, and milk until well combined.
  4. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until incorporated.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped nuts, parsley, and Parmesan cheese if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini to prevent soggy bread.
  • Feel free to swap herbs with your favorites or use fresh ones in larger quantity.
  • This bread freezes well—slice and wrap for easy storage.
  • Add crumbled feta or sun-dried tomatoes for an extra savory twist.
