Ingredients
Bread
- 1 cup coconut oil melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated zucchini wet - do not dry it out first
- * *If you do not have cream of tartar, you can substitute 1/2 tsp of baking powder
Topping
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- **If you do not have cream of tartar you can omit it from the topping, no replacement is necessary.
Instructions
Step One
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Next, coat two loaf pans (I used 4 ½“ x 8 ½“ pans) really well with the cooking spray of your choice.
Step Two
- In a large bowl, beat oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
- Next, in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, creme of tartar, and salt until everything is well combined.
- Now, add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until well combined. (The batter will be thick.)
- Next, add the zucchini to the batter and mix again until everything is completely mixed together.
- Finally, in a separate small bowl, combine the cinnamon, sugar, and creme of tartar to create the topping mixture.
Step Three
- First, fill half of each loaf pan with batter and sprinkle 2 TBSP of the topping mixture over the batter in each pan.
- Next, divide the remaining batter between the two pans and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the tops of each loaf.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack prior to serving.
Notes
Using cream of tartar gives the bread a bit lighter/more cake-like texture than using baking powder. It also gives the bread more of a true snickerdoodle taste and your house will absolutely smell like you are baking snickerdoodle cookies!
