Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Deliciously simple almond flour zucchini bread with sweet cinnamon streusel layered into the soft vegan + paleo loaf. Hidden veggie baking at it’s best!

Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread

Not every recipe needs to contain all the dates.

A difficult truth I am currently working on coming to terms with.

But with every slice of Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread it gets a little easier to accept. Some recipes just aren’t meant to be filled with those fruity gooey guys. Some recipes are better sweetened with syrups. Some recipes will turn out an actual pan of mush with too many medjools in the mix. Yes there was an instance of zucchini mush eating with a fork that took place earlier in my week. I have zero regrets.

What I do regret is not putting streusel on every single quick bread ever made in my kitchen. Good news: there is still time.

Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini BreadCinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread

While I intended for the zucchini part of this bread to be the emphasis, the streusel kinda swooped in and stole the show. And I wasn’t about to stop it. Crumbles of soft but slightly crisp cinnamon sweet stuff that turns the most golden shade of toasty brown on top – that kinda goodness cannot be contained.

Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread

Can we talk about the deceiving nature of zucchini for a minute?

One would think a cup of shredded zucchini would add some moisture to a recipe, but also some fiber and texture and color and stuff. One would NOT think that a cup of shredded zucchini is basically like dumping a cup of water into a recipe plus some green flecks just for kicks. But that’s the undisclosed zucchini baking reality. Oh and you better believe I squeezed the hell out of those green shreds too.

As if the the whole hey-all-this-time-you-thought-green-means-vegetable-but-I’m-actually-a-fruit-because-seeds things wasn’t misleading already. Enough with the curveballs, zucchini. We get it, you don’t like to be predictable.

So that’s a fun twist to account for when crafting a zucchini quick bread that is both vegan and grain-free. And that is why this recipe is not date-sweetened, the last thing it needed was anything so naturally squishy. But maple syrup plus almond butter is the perfect ingredient combo to combat this zucchini trickery, and gift us with a perfectly moist-but-not-mush loaf.

Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread

After sorting out the bread part, the streusel was a piece of cake slice of bread (That really just doesn’t have the same effect, does it?) The bread itself already uses almond flour and maple syrup, and you know what makes for the best easy streusel? Almond flour + maple syrup. And gobs of cinnamon. Obviously.

I went all out with a little double-decker streusel-ing so there’s a layer in the middle AND on top. But that’s not essential. Just the top layer will do, that’s the one that gets the toastiest and tastiest anyways.

Cinnamon Streusel Zucchini Bread

So tell me – which of those four words in the name drew you in the most? Was it the second one thats starts with an “S”? Because if so this streusel-forward bread will be your dreams coming true in quick bread form. Also, you have awesome tastes.

P.S. I take no responsibility for the little bits of streusel soon to be all over your kitchen/table/floor. Quick bread consumption tidiness is all on you.

    That texture though!!!! So fluffy and perfect. I agree that all quickbread and probably just all baked goods in general need a streusel topping for optimal deliciousness. There’s just something so magic about a crispy crumble topping <3

      I have tried it with coconut flour and it was a mushy mess unfortunately. Coconut flour is quite tricky to use in egg-free vegan recipes. You could try oat flour though, that is much more likely to work (2 cups total in place of the almond and tapioca) although will make the texture a bit more gummy. Best of luck!

    These look so good Natalie! I love cinnamon and almond flour, duh, so these look so good! I know what you mean about zucchini adding a ton of moisture! That happened when I originally trialed my brownies, they were too soggy at first and just yuck! Zucchini is a moisture bomb that is for sure. But this bread looked like it turned out great. These are all my favorite ingredients I bake with so I’m sure it tastes amazing and I’d happily stuff my face with each slice. Plus, anytime there is streusel involved, you know it’s going to be good! I can totally see how the dates would be overkill and make a mushy bread, which is never good, so I’m happy to see my favorite sweetener maple syrup here. Yum. My favorite part of streusel baked goods is just eating and picking off the top and it looks like there is plenty here to do that, haha!

      I literally haven’t posted a zucchini bread recipe on here for years because it is so tricky with all that moisture. And usually oil-free stuff has the opposite problem, I can’t handle this new curveball lol. Well you nailed the brownies so clearly we are slowly figuring out zucchini’s deceptive ways 🙂 Omg with the dates was a disaster! Maple syrup I find to actually do wonderful things for moisture but not mushiness in baking, if only it were a fruit. Oh you should’ve seen my streusel COVERED photo table after these…it was glorious 🙂 Happy monday Brandi!

    Two words lured me in…CINNAMON + STREUSEL!!! And guess what???? This might be my favorite recipe of yours now. Yep. I made this today! Willow wasn’t too interested in helping me make this because there wasn’t a drop of chocolate, BUT she wasn’t too busy to help lick the food processor clean 😉 The double streusel is fantastic and I can’t believe it was just almond flour + maple syrup + cinnamon. I love how it gets a little crispy once baked and it took every ounce of my willpower not to pick off all that crispy goodness and eat it. The bread itself is heavenly and I could totally see how dates would have turned this to mush…but I’m sure I would have still eaten it right out of the pan. This is so soft and almost melts in your mouth AND the kiddo who showed little interest in helping me lit up with the first bite. SO. DANG. GOOD!!!! I think next time I’ll line the loaf pan with parchment to make for easier removal. I oiled the pan, and while the bread didn’t stick, I made a mess trying to get a slice out. I’m looking forward to a second slice later with a cup of tea! Wonderful recipe, my friend!! <3
    p.s. – I am SO excited about all of these grain-free recipes <3

      Omg did you really just say that?! And without chocolate? Mandy who are you?? lol Nah I agree–cinnamon and fall flavors can beat out chocolate for me sometimes too, I’ve remade this one more times than the monkey bread myself. Willow not helping but swooping in when something needed to be “cleaned” sounds exactly like me as a kid haha 😀 SMART. Yes yes, I can totally relate to the streusel everywhere situation when removing form the pan. If not for pics, I would parchment paper it or slice in the pan too. I am so so happy you both liked it in the end, and THANK YOU <33 I am loving grain-free baking these days too 🙂

      I am so happy to hear it Anna!! This has been my favorite recipe to have on hand for snacking lately 🙂 I haven’t tried freezing it yet, but typically with loaf breads like this they freeze fine except for maybe being a bit drier after. In the fridge I’d say 4-5 days, after that it will again dry out. Enjoy the rest!

      It will definitely change the texture, probably not as rich and moist as with the almond, but it will likely work. But as I haven’t tested it I can’t say for sure so you will have to experiment 🙂

      Hi Karen! Date syrup will work here, however date paste will not. Just to make sure we are talking bout the same thing–by date syrup you mean the kind you buy in a bottle that is liquid like maple syrup, NOT water blended with dates, yes? Because date paste (water + dates) contains way too much moisture and will turn it into mush, but date syrup almost always can be subbed in in place of maple syrup. Hope that makes sense and answers your question 🙂

      Cornstarch or arrowroot starch would both work as well! You really need one of those starches though otherwise the texture will be too crumbly and fall apart since almond flour doesn’t really bind on its own. Hopefully you have/can fine one of those!

    Thank you, Natalie! This is my first attempt at one of your recipes, and if the heavenly scent wafting from my oven + the tasty batter in my food processor are any indication, it won’t be my last. My only substitute was molasses for maple syrup + a mix of ginger, all spice + cinnamon for internal streusel; I left the top layer as recommended. The dark molasses adds a rich, warm character to the loaf and reminds me of my grandmother’s traditional gingerbread. I’m so grateful for a paleo alternative–ingenious use of almond butter, btw–and can’t wait to devour this inventive conveyance of zucchini deliciousness. Love the easy preparation + your writing. I’ll be back! Cheers!

      I’d try carrots, that would be more similar in my opinion. It’s hard to predict if you’d need to make other modifications without trying it myself, but if anything I’d recommend increasing the amount of nut/seed butter by a little bit to make up for the moisture difference. Good luck 🙂

    My usual go-to for when I have an abundance of zucchini? Your Zucchini Chocolate Chunk Blondies. 🤤 Those dudes never fail me and they somehow get better with age. But I felt I was overlooking other veggie concoctions and so I searched your archives and LO AND BEHOLD this bread is sumptuous! And (as everyone has been saying on here) the streusel is so simple yet EFFECTIVE! The middle layer is inspired too! I feel guilty for inadvertently ignoring this recipe. But at the same time, how can I have regrets when… BLONDIES!! This looks so pretty and dainty but still packs a punch on the old taste buds. And thank God for your warning and for nut milk bags or else my oven would still be weeping zucchini juice (as an aside, any ideas for what to do with all that excess fluid?!). Thank you for using veggies in such an inventive and delicious way!

      I must admit I am guilty of putting most my zucchini baking attention into those blondies lately too, I had almost forgotten about this one myself🙈 So I am so happy you tried, loved, and reviewed this one to remind me! As much as I love chocolate chunks, streusel is just as good imo🤗 And I love your use of the word “sumptuous”, what an underrated adjective. I am so happy you found this one before zucchini season is over! Thanks for the review, and enjoy the rest of those streusel-y slices💚

Freeze overnight. Defrost about 5 minutes, then gently remove from the pan using the parchment strips or a dull knife to pop them out. Enjoy!

-1/2–2/3 cup water
-8–10 pitted (160g) medjool dates

-1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips

Blend pumpkin, dates, 1/2 cup water, spice, and salt. Add more water slowly as necessary until you have a thick paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in coconut flour until you have a ball of dough. Shape into a rectangle approximately 3/4 inch thick. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.

Melt the chocolate chips (optionally add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil for a thinner/smoother coating). Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 12 rectangles. Dip each into the melted chocolate coating on all sides. Transfer to a pan or plate lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Store in the fridge.

NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down da NO-CHURN CHOCOLATE SOFT SERVE🤎 Spooning down dairy-free soft serve daily until the weather forces me to switch to stop🍦 If you don’t own a creami, THIS is the ultimate easy blender method!

INGREDIENTS
-15oz can coconut milk
-1 cup nut/seed butter of choice (I used sunbutter)
-1/4 cup maple syrup
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Toppings of choice

Pour coconut milk (shake before opening) into an ice cream tray and freeze overnight . Blend the cubes + remaining ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. You will need to use the tamper and stop to scrape down the sides frequently, try to avoid adding extra liquid. Spoon into bowls as is. Or transfer to a piping bag, freeze for 30 mins or so, then swirl into bowls or cones for the “froyo” look. Top and enjoy!

Freeze the coconut cream in ice cube trays overnight. Blend the coconut cream cubes with cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a high speed blender until smooth. Add a little nondairy milk if needed to blend. In a pan or dish, layer ice cream > marshmallows, walnuts, chocolate chips, brownie chunks > repeat. Freeze for 30-60 minutes until scoop-able. It will be creamiest the day you make it, but will keep a few days in the freezer (remove 5-10 minutes to soften before eating)
