Cinnamon Swirl Zucchini Bread
Description
This recipe blends shredded zucchini with sugar, oil, vanilla, eggs, and dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. The batter is layered with a cinnamon and sugar mixture to create a swirled effect inside the loaf.
Baking in a prepared pan yields a loaf with a tender crumb featuring pockets of cinnamon spice. The zucchini keeps the bread moist and provides subtle vegetable sweetness without overpowering the flavor.
Enjoy slices plain or lightly toasted. This bread can be stored at room temperature covered tightly for up to five days, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to remain fresh.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups zucchini about 1-2 small to medium zucchinis, grated
- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 egg
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Swirl
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8-inch bread pan with nonstick foil and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine zucchini, sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder to a smaller bowl and whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
- In a small bowl whisk together cinnamon and sugar for the swirl.
- Pour 1/3 of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add another 1/3 of the batter, then the remaining cinnamon-sugar. Top with remaining 1/3 of the batter.
- Bake 35-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean (depending on your altitude, humidity, and the calibration of your oven you may need to increase the time so just keep an eye on it and insert a toothpick every 5 minutes after 35 minutes)
Notes
- Store the zucchini bread tightly covered at room temperature for up to five days to keep it moist and fresh.
