Zucchini Bread with a delicious Brown Sugar Crumb is a favorite moist Zucchini Quick Bread Recipe in our house. Cinnamon and nutmeg give this zucchini loaf just the right amount of spices.
One of my favorite things about this time of year is the endless amounts of Zucchini growing in the garden.
It gives me the perfect excuse to make countless amounts of Zucchini Bread, and I usually freeze excess zucchini shredded in pre-measured bags to make Zucchini Bread all winter long.
Zucchini Bread with Brown Sugar Crumb will quickly become your go to Zucchini Bread recipe. It's simply the best!
L.J. thought I was crazy when I told him I was making zucchini bread, he even declared there was no way he was trying it, until he accidentally cut a slice thinking it was banana bread, and realized what he was missing out on.
I made this recipe to make two loafs, because let's be honest ones never enough. Sometimes I'll hide the second loaf of bread in the freezer to enjoy later if it happens to last that long.
So here's how to make the Brown Sugar Crumb in a mixing bowl combine:
- 3/4 cup Flour (All-Purpose or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour)
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt until well combined.
If you use standard iodized salt you will need to reduce the amount, sea salt is less salty.
Add 6 tablespoons Cold Cubed Butter and mix until crumbly.
Mixture should look like this. Remove to a small bowl and set aside.
In a clean bowl add:
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Butter or Coconut Oil
Mix until light and fluffy.
Add 4 eggs one at a time mixing well between each addition and scraping sides of bowl.
Add 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla and mix well.
Add:
- 3 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Shredded Zucchini
Add:
- 4 cups All-Purpose or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1 cup Chopped Nuts
Stir until well combined, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
Grease (2) 9"x5"x3" loaf pans. Divide batter evenly between pans.
Press crumb mixture between fingers and divide evenly between pans.
Allow batter to rest for 20 minutes for a well rounded loaf.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
Allow loaf to cool before slicing.
Zucchini Bread with Brown Sugar Crumb is perfect plain or with a pat of butter.
A few other favorite ways to use up zucchini are:
- Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
- Zucchini Cheddar Cheese Beer Bread
- Lemon Zucchini Bread
- Chocolate Zucchini Coffee Cake
- Tarragon Chicken with Fennel and Zucchini

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love zucchini bread and that brown sugar crumb topping!
Delicious serena, Love those brown sugar crumb.
Your zucchini bread looks marvelous! Love the sugar topping!
I like the brown sugar topping! Thanks for the recipe.
I had no idea you could freeze zucchini to make bread later. Such a good idea! I often freeze the bread itself for later. Love the addition of the crumb here too.
