Zucchini Bread

This classic zucchini bread recipe is easy to make, perfectly moist, lightly spiced and baked up with an irresistible crunchy sugar topping.

Everyone needs an excellent zucchini bread recipe in their repertoire. So if you happen to need one, I highly recommend giving my favorite zucchini bread a try! ♡

I’ve come to love this recipe over the years because it’s mercifully low-fuss. There’s zero zucchini-wringing required — just add the grated zucchini straight into the batter, which yields a perfectly light and moist loaf of bread. Then all of the remaining ingredients you’ll need are pantry staples that you likely already have on hand. I love using lots of vanilla and warming spices in my zucchini bread as well as a hint of lemon zest, which magically makes all of the flavors here “pop.” And then a generous sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the bread bakes up to form a crunchy sugar topping that is downright irresistible.

I tend to be a zucchini bread purist and love mine without any add-ins. But I’ve included options below if you’d like to add in some chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, coconut, or anything else that sounds good. This recipe is wonderfully flexible and foolproof. So the next time you have a zucchini surplus, grab your bread pan and let’s bake up a quick loaf of homemade zucchini bread together!
