Zucchini Bread with Crumb Topping

Zucchini time is here. As I was sifting through my recipe collection on the blog, I realized I have not yet shared a great zucchini bread recipe. This is a recipe in my grandmas cookbook. She makes a couple different versions- one with pineapple and this one. I LOVE Zucchini Bread. It is so moist and delicious and such a fun tradition to look forward to every summer.

I love this recipe because it has a crumb topping and buttercream frosting. The added crunchy crumble provides a great texture to the moist bread . And who doesn’t love frosting?!

I am telling you, this bread is perfection. If you are looking for a delicious zucchini bread recipe, give our family recipe a try!

    I like that you added the cinnamon, and crumb topping too the zucchini bread, combined with the frosting makes it a big hit in our family.

    I love baking with zucchini and just posted some zucchini muffins yesterday. Love how moist it makes everything and your bread looks perfect! With the crumb topping and icing, the best! Pinned :)

    Ooooooh, this is so good for my zucchini-lovin’ heart!! I’m dying over this and can’t wait to try it!

    In the directions for the bread, your directions state to add the vanilla yet there isn't vanilla in the list of ingredients. If vanilla is to be added, how much would you suggest? Thank you!

    1. Joanie

      Also, what size bread pans are you using and when you say prepared pans, are they greased and floured or sprayed with non-stick cooking oil? Thanks again :)

    2. Chef in Training

      so sorry. 8x4 inch pans and I just spray with cooking spray.

    3. Chef in Training

      it is 1 teaspoon vanilla

      Thank you and thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.

    for the zucchini bread, it said in prepared pans. Is this just sprayed with Pam, or floured? Thanks in advance.

    1. Chef in Training

      so sorry about that confusion. They are 8x4 inch pans and I just spray with cooking spray.

    XLNT! The only thing I changed was to use GF flour. Nice fine texture and easy to make. Thank you!

    If you substitute crushed pineapple for the zucchini, how much do you use? Do you drain all the juice off first?

  9. linda

    when you say soda, do you mean baking soda, club soda or what??

    1. Chef in Training

      baking soda. Sorry about that. I will correct that in the recipe :)

  10. Vicki

    Not sure what I did wrong, but I only got one loaf! LOL, but it was delicious. I was wondering if I could shred the zucchini and freeze it to make the bread over the winter. Thanks

    can I bake this in a 9x13 cake pan, and if so, how long should I bake it for?
