Description

A cozy loaf that marries the nostalgia of snickerdoodle cookies with the moist texture of zucchini bread. Sweet, warmly spiced, and sneakily veggie-packed.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (or almond/coconut flour)
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Wash and grate zucchini. Gently squeeze if very watery.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grease and flour two 9×5 loaf pans.
  4. In a bowl, beat oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. In another bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until thick batter forms.
  7. Fold in zucchini gently but thoroughly.
  8. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon for topping.
  9. Pour half the batter into pans, sprinkle half topping.
  10. Add remaining batter, sprinkle remaining topping.
  11. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
  12. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

Don’t peel the zucchini; green flecks add charm. For extra moisture, consider a fourth egg or extra oil. Add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts bring fun variety.
