The savoury seasonal fruit helps balance out the sweetness in the bread batter.

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 cup granulated sugar
PREHEAT oven to 350F. Spray a 9x5-in. loaf pan with oil and line with parchment.
PLACE zucchini in a colander in the sink. Squeeze with both hands, removing as much liquid as possible.
WHISK flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Whisk eggs, oil and yogurt in a large bowl. Whisk in sugar, then stir in zucchini. Add flour mixture in 2 parts until just combined.
BAKE until a tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 50 to 55 min. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 min. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
