A tender, moist zucchini bread infused with warm cinnamon sugar flavors reminiscent of snickerdoodles, perfect for cozy moments and easy baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed (110g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (can substitute melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed dry)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Grate about 1 ½ cups of zucchini (approximately 2 medium zucchinis). Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Whisk lightly until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until almost combined. Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  6. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out zucchini moisture well to avoid soggy bread. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping just before baking to get a crackly crust. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. For vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil.
