Enjoy a moist and tender zucchini bread with the classic cinnamon-sugar flavor of snickerdoodles. This easy quick bread is perfect for brunch or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter into the pan and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy bread.
  • For an extra moist loaf, you can add 1/4 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil.
  • You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture.
