Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans.

  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon swirl ingredients: sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter in each pan.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon swirl.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze: whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  13. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
  14. Slice and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) to the batter.
