Preparing the Zucchini

Start by washing a medium zucchini, then grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, sprinkle a pinch of salt, and squeeze firmly to remove excess water. This step prevents a soggy dough and concentrates the vegetable’s natural sweetness.

Mixing Wet Components

In a medium bowl, combine the drained zucchini, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, the beaten egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve, creating a glossy base that will coat the flour evenly.
