I bake according to the weather. It was chilly and rainy yesterday, and while walking through the grocery store, I wanted to bake some cinnamon and spice zucchini bread. As soon as I mentioned it, Kyle said, “YES, make that!” It is one of our favorite treats in our house, and I was looking forward to having a slice with a hot cup of coffee later in the afternoon. Zucchini bread is a year round treat for us. I love using fresh zucchini in the summer, and the spices always warm me up in the winter.

I am looking forward to growing a ton of zucchini this year for this delicious zucchini bread recipe.

Cozy Zucchini Bread Recipe!

Sometimes taking the electric mixer out of the pantry is a pain, so if I can make delicious bread without it, I always opt for that. I love how simple this recipe is, and it is pretty foolproof.

I tried zucchini bread for the first time about nine years ago after a run uptown. I went to a coffee shop called Central Coffee Co and grabbed one of their lattes and a slice of zucchini bread. I was in love at first bite. I stopped there weekly for their bread until I started making my own. I do not know why it has taken me this long to put this recipe on the blog, but I am ready to share it with the world. If I ever owned a bakery, I would always have this zucchini bread stocked in the dessert case.

I will include some ingredient swaps you can use in this recipe, and there are so many times I have made these swaps myself.

This recipe makes two loaves, one for you and another to give to a neighbor or family member or to freeze for later. Wrap the bread in individual slices and freeze it for dessert or quick breakfasts. If you microwave them for 30 seconds after freezing, they are soft and flavorful. You can add butter, Nutella, or enjoy it plain. It is best when served with coffee.

How to Make Zucchini Bread

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Line two 8 x 4 bread pans with parchment paper.

This zucchini bread is simple, and you do not need an electric mixer.

Start by sifting the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and allspice together.

Mix the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, Greek yogurt, and sugar in a separate bowl.

Grate the zucchini until you have two cups. Do not drain it.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.

Add a Maple Icing to the Top

Try the most delicious icing from my banana bread recipe for the top.

    We tried this recipe last night using the butter and it was a hit in our house. My daughter, who doesn’t like food, had three slices!

    Good recipe. I thought that 2.5 cups of sugar would be a lot but it’s just fine. The batter is quite thick, a regular hand mixer wouldn’t be able to handle it. Bread was soft and moist with a little crunch on the top. The recipe made about 5.5 cups and I made 5 mini loaves. I’d use this recipe again.
