Happy Friday! I hope you guys are doing something fun this weekend? We don’t have too many hot sunny days left- take advantage! Tell me what you are up to- we are being boring at home.
Are you guys freaking out about what to do with all of the zucchini? I didn’t even grown it this year (book!!!!) but just in friends and family I already have a ton of zucchini to use up- and they are HUGE zucchini. I just saw some at Pike Place Market that were the size of a newborn baby or our dog Wilbur- HUGE!
So here is one of the best possible ways to enjoy it- Zucchini Bread. Actually, not just zucchini bread, but Spiced Zucchini Bread with a finger licking Cinnamon Glaze.
You guys. I could barely contain myself. We were eating this hot with the glaze running everywhere and truly licking our hands clean. It was a bit of a spectacle. But such a delicious spectacle. MAKE THIS and be happy you did 🙂
- Spiced Zucchini Bread
- Coconut oil spray or melted coconut oil, for the pan
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2¼ cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1 cup beet sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1â…“ cups packed grated zucchini
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- Honey-Cinnamon Glaze:
- ¾ cup beet confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsweetened coconut milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of kosher salt
- To make the spiced zucchini bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 × 4-inch loaf pan with coconut oil spray or brush with melted coconut oil.
- In a small saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a simmer.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Add the zucchini, coconut oil, and the hot coconut milk and mix on medium speed until you have an even batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
- To make the honey-cinnamon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the bread generously.

Perfect timing as I have one of those Monster Zucchini sitting on my counter! I’ll be hanging at home this weekend, trying to stay cool in the OMG hot weather here in Seattle 🙂
A great way to use up fresh summer zucchini!
Would love a nice thick slab of this! Zucchini bread is one of my favorites, and I didn’t realize I somehow haven’t made it yet this year. That will change!
OMG, my mom has so much zucchini in her garden, and we were just talking this morning about what to do with it all (seriously, it’s taking over). Question answered!!
I don’t understand why you use beet sugar in your recipes…doesn’t really sound vegan to me… Processed and refined! would date sugar work?
I’m so wishing I had some extra zucchini right now to make this bread. It looks incredible – love the glaze!
What a perfect Fall Bread! Love those drizzles!
Hi Heather! I love your recipes….I’m curious about this one for the winter; it seems like a great holiday spice combination and a recipe one could make all year. What could I substitute for zucchini in the winter, if anything?
Hi Kate- Pumpkin would be a great sub!
Hi, just about to make this zucchini bread – did you really use 1 TABLESPOON of cinnamon in the bread and only 1/4 tsp in the glaze? Thanks
yes- its really strong in the glaze and easily absorbed in the bread!
