Ingredients
  

Bread

  • 1 cup coconut oil melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar *If unavailable, substitute with 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups grated zucchini wet – do not dry it out first

Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar **Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 4.5" x 8.5" loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat together coconut oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until combined (batter will be thick).
  • Fold in the grated zucchini until fully incorporated.
  • In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and optional cream of tartar for the topping.
  • Fill loaf pans halfway with batter, sprinkle 2 tbsp topping on each, then add remaining batter and top with remaining sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Using cream of tartar gives the bread a lighter, cake-like texture and a snickerdoodle flavor. Optional but recommended for extra coziness!
