Description

A delightful zucchini bread recipe with a creamy swirl of cream cheese, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the zucchini batter into the prepared loaf pan, then dollop half of the cream cheese mixture on top.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter and cream cheese mixture, swirling with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • For added flavor, consider adding nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
