Description

This Snickerdoodle Zucchini Bread is soft, moist, and topped with a crackly cinnamon-sugar crust. Combining the comforting flavors of a snickerdoodle cookie with wholesome zucchini bread, it’s a perfect recipe for breakfast, snacking, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Bread:
  • 1 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar (or ½ tsp baking powder)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (wet – do not dry it out)
  • Topping:
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two loaf pans (4 ½“ x 8 ½“) with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted coconut oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  4. Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a thick batter.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
  6. Mix sugar, cinnamon, and cream of tartar in a small bowl for the topping.
  7. Divide half the batter between the two loaf pans. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of topping on each.
  8. Layer remaining batter in pans and smooth tops. Sprinkle remaining topping evenly over loaves.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool completely in pans on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not squeeze moisture from the zucchini—it keeps the bread moist. Use cream of tartar for authentic snickerdoodle flavor. For a crunchier topping, sprinkle extra granulated sugar before baking. Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for variety.
