Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis, squeezed dry)
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (can swap half with whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon sugar swirl:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Grate 2 medium zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, then fold in grated zucchini. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Mix cinnamon sugar swirl by combining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Pour half the batter into a prepared 9×5-inch loaf pan, sprinkle half the cinnamon sugar over it, add remaining batter, then top with remaining cinnamon sugar. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  9. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy bread. Swirl cinnamon sugar gently to create pockets of sweetness. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Can be made gluten-free or vegan with substitutions.
