This Savory Zucchini Loaf is a lower-carb, gluten-free recipe that’s perfect for any meal or snack. It has a very light texture and is bursting with fresh zucchini flavor and tangy feta in each bite. Unlike the typical sweet zucchini breads, this savory version combines fresh zucchini, tangy feta cheese, and a touch of dill for a bold and satisfying flavor. It pairs beautifully with a warm bowl of soup on a cold winter day or makes a filling accompaniment to a simple dairy (egg or fish) meal, offering comfort without the sugar crash. With its almond flour base, this loaf is high in protein and fiber, making it a nutritious choice. The light, airy texture and golden crust make it a crowd-pleaser that’s both tasty and good for you.

Sweet zucchini bread has its roots in quick breads, which became popular in the 19th century for their speed and simplicity. During and after World War II, home bakers began using garden-grown zucchini in sweet recipes, creating moist, flavorful loaves. Its popularity increased in the 1970s, when zucchini’s health benefits were recognized, especially its ability to add moisture without extra fat. Today, zucchini bread remains a beloved classic, with both sweet and savory versions enjoyed year-round.
