📝 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchini:
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the bread from becoming too wet. Set aside.
3. Make the Zucchini Bread Batter:
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Mix the wet ingredients:
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the grated zucchini.
4. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
- Prepare the swirl:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
- Layer the bread:
- Pour half of the zucchini bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Drizzle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top and gently swirl it through the batter with a knife.
5. Bake the Bread:
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Let the zucchini bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make the Glaze:
- Prepare the glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk; if it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.
7. Serve:
- Drizzle the glaze:
- Once the zucchini bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Slice and enjoy:
- Slice the Cinnamon Roll Zucchini Bread and enjoy as a sweet, spiced treat!
