Ingredients
Scale
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and 2 cups of granulated sugar.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the grated zucchini and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the snickerdoodle topping.
Drizzle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.
Pour the remaining batter into the pan and top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra moist bread, ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating.
You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added texture.
This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
