If you have a garden like I do, you are probably looking to change up your zucchini recipes for something a little, or a lot, more exciting.

This quick bread fits that bill! It uses a lot of grated zucchini making the bread super moist and the batter makes two loaves of bread…Enough for breakfast and dessert!

How to make Cinnamon Crumble Zucchini Bread

If you like, you can watch me make this recipe in the video below.

Begin by assembling your ingredients.

ingredients for Cinnamon Crumble Zucchini Bread

Smear the sides and bottom of two loaf pans with room temperature butter.

Stir together brown sugar and cinnamon and tap it around the loaf pan to coat the bottom and sides.

Combine all of your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Rinse and grate 4 cups of zucchini. It does not need to be peeled. I really love this Microplane Box Grater for this.

Add the grated zucchini to the dry ingredient mixing bowl along with eggs, sour cream, oil, and vanilla.

Beat the mixture for two minutes, allowing the zucchini to release some of it’s moisture.

Divide the batter into the two brown sugar and cinnamon coated loaf pans and then sprinkle with the reserved brown sugar and cinnamon.

Bake in a 325 degree oven until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
