Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional, for extra warmth)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or ½ cup oil for extra moisture)
- 1/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (don’t drain)
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter (or oil), milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Add Zucchini: Stir the shredded zucchini into the wet ingredients.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Make Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
-
Assemble the Bread: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar.
-
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
