Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two standard-sized loaf pans and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, beating until the batter is fully combined. The batter will be thick.
- Grate the zucchini and add it to the mixture. Beat once more until the zucchini is fully incorporated.
- In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients: granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Pour half of the batter into each loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each batter layer.
- Cover the cinnamon sugar layer with the remaining batter, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- To reduce the moisture in the bread, squeeze out excess liquid from the grated zucchini using a clean towel or paper towels.
- If the bread starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, you can fold in cinnamon chips after adding the zucchini to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 4 months.
