This zucchini bread has become a staple in my kitchen because it is so easy to whip up. The zucchini keeps the loaf perfectly moist, while that cinnamon crunch topping adds the most wonderful texture to every single bite.

I love making this for a cozy weekend breakfast or as a treat to share with neighbors. If you want to make it extra special, serve it warm with a tiny pat of salted butter melting right into the crust.

🧺 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup melted butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a loaf pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3
In a separate small bowl, combine the grated zucchini, Greek yogurt, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
6
Sprinkle the extra cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
7
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

💡 Tips

Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. It also freezes beautifully if you wrap individual slices in plastic wrap before putting them in a freezer bag.
