Prepare the Zucchini:

Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent a soggy bread.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil (or melted coconut oil), Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread.
