Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread Bakery Style - Zucchini Bread Recipes

This cinnamon streusel zucchini bread is the kind of loaf you bake when you want the kitchen to smell like a warm hug. I first made it on a lazy Saturday, the kind where the sun streams through the window and you’re still in pajamas at noon. The batter comes together so easily, you’ll wonder why you ever bought bread from a store. Grated zucchini keeps the crumb tender, while the streusel topping adds a sweet crunch that’s just begging to be paired with coffee. I like to sneak in an extra handful of cinnamon for that cozy spice kick, but you can play around with it. The best part? It doesn’t taste like vegetables at all, so even picky eaters will go back for seconds. If you’ve been searching for zucchini bread recipes that feel both homey and a bit bakery-special, this one’s for you. Whether you call it healthy zucchini bread or just your new favorite afternoon snack, it’s one of those bakes that fits anywhere — breakfast, dessert, or a late-night treat. Once you try it, you might just start keeping zucchini on hand year-round.
