Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut oil melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups grated zucchini wet, do not dry
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar topping
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar topping, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line two 4.5” x 8.5” loaf pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted coconut oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  4. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Fold in zucchini with all moisture included.
  5. Mix topping ingredients (sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar) in a small bowl.
  6. Divide half of the batter between the loaf pans and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of topping on each. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the topping.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, tenting with foil after 35 minutes if tops brown too fast. Check doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not squeeze out zucchini moisture—it's essential for a super-moist loaf. Try swapping in whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, or flax eggs for healthy variations.
