- Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes and transfer it to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Do not squeeze out the water from the zucchini since it helps keep the bread super moist.
- The zucchini bread batter should be thick, it should not be runny, and add water if needed. If the zucchinis have more liquid in them you may not need to add any water.
- Use thick yogurt or greek yogurt in this recipe to make the bread more tasty. If you use low fat yogurt, you may not need to add any water in the batter.
- Add low fat yogurt if you like, in that case adjust the water consistency accordingly.
- Sharp cheddar cheese tastes very delicious as well in this recipe.
- You can add cottage cheese instead of yogurt and mozzarella cheese. It will take 5-8 more minutes to bake the bread.
- Cut the bread into slices or small bite sized cubes for serving as an appetizer.
- Bake the batter into a muffin pan to make a great breakfast option.
