Equipment

  • Loaf Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Zucchini Pressed to remove excess water
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Cinnamon Filling

  • 3 tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and grated zucchini until well-blended.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle or dollop half the cinnamon filling and gently swirl it with a knife. Add the remaining batter, then repeat the cinnamon swirl on top.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Loosely cover with foil after 30 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. Meanwhile, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
  • Slice thickly and serve, warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute applesauce or Greek yogurt for oil. Adjust the cinnamon filling to your taste.
