This easy snickerdoodle zucchini bread recipe makes two loaves of snickerdoodle bread. Each slice is moist, tasty, cinnamon-sweet, and oh-so filling.
Zucchini is a difficult word to spell, let me just start with that. It’s that crazy veggie that everyone grows, knowing full well it will multiply like fishes and loaves come harvest time and we’ll have it running out our ears, which causes us to run for more zucchini recipes. Well boy howdy, I’m here to be your best friend!
This snickerdoodle zucchini bread is pretty simple and straightforward and the recipe makes two loaves. It’s cinnamony, sweet, dense, and moist. If your family balks at the name, just drop the “zucchini” and call it “snickerdoodle bread”. It’s all in how you present it.
If you can limit yourself to one slice, it can be a treat if you want a snickerdoodle bread that has lower carbs than a typical recipe.

How to Make Snickerdoodle Zucchini Bread

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine.

Enjoy this easy-to-make and yummy to taste snickerdoodle zucchini bread.
Storage
This may be one of the best parts, but when stored in an airtight container in the fridge, snickerdoodle bread will last for at least a week. It also freezes so well, for up to 4 months. Just make sure you store slices in a freezer-safe container or double-wrapped to avoid freezer burn. This is another option I like for an airtight containers.
Recipe Notes
- Substitute the baking powder for cream of tartar to give the snickerdoodle zucchini bread a lighter and more cake-like texture. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon to your topping ingredients.
- You can use almond or coconut flour too to make it gluten free.
- To decrease the sugar content even more you can use Swerve or other sugar substitutes instead of regular sugar.
- As you probably know by now, I’m a big fan of coconut oil. In this instance, its light and sweet taste really help make this bread taste like a snickerdoodle cookie.
- If you want, adapt this recipe and bake your bread in a smaller loaf pan or muffin pan. Your cooking time will reduce to about 25 minutes for both, but double-check at the 20-minute mark.
- If you want to up the cinnamon taste of the bread, fold 1 1/2 cups of cinnamon chips into the batter after you add the grated zucchini.

My daughter and I made this bread yesterday and it was really easy, yummy, and made the house smell great! I am not a big baker, so I follow recipes pretty close. After we had poured 1/2 the batter and my daughter was putting up the ingredients she realized we didn’t use the allspice! It was listed in the ingredients, but not in the instructions so we forgot to add it to the batter. We used 1/2 the amount and added it to the remaining batter. I just wanted to let you know so you could update your instructions. We loved this bread and will be making it again!
Thank you for letting me know Emily, I will check on it.
I have mini loaf pans how long would I bake them for? 🙂
Do you think you could make snickerdoodle banana bread just substituting bananas? I love cinnamon. Thanks.
sounds great to me as is! could I make half the recipe as muffins? thanks.
Have this in the oven! Smells delicious. Will update once it’s out.
I hope you enjoy it Lauren!!
I make this gluten free using Namaste gluten free blend flour the same amount as recipe and the only other thing I change is to add an extra 1/2 cup shredded zucchini as the gf blends tend to absorb more moisture and be drier. I took some to work to let my coworkers be my taste testers and they polished it off like champs! They dont even care that I bake GF. It is addicting! You cant just eat 1 piece!
You know its good when there isn’t a bite left!! I am so glad you were able to figure out how to make it work for you and I appreciate you sharing so others can make it GF as well!!
Christy, you can add 1/4 tsp of Cloves to substitute the allspice.
