A moist and tender zucchini bread with a unique snickerdoodle twist, featuring a crispy cinnamon sugar crunch topping that adds texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, packed with moisture)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Crunch Topping:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Grate the zucchini finely using your grater or food processor. Place the zucchini in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can to get about 2 packed cups.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini gently until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly but sticky. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. If the topping browns too fast, loosely tent with foil.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy bread. Sift dry ingredients for light texture. Fold batter gently to avoid dense bread. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. Let bread cool completely before slicing to maintain crunch.
