Zucchini bread with a scoop of vanilla protein powder in the batter and the sugar cut back, so the grated zucchini stays doing what it does best (keeping the crumb moist) while the protein count actually holds up.

Squeezing the zucchini dry is the step people skip and regret. Skip it yourself and the loaf turns gummy in the middle.
