Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Whisk together until well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Gently add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Incorporate 1 ½ cups of grated zucchini into the batter, and fold in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of light brown sugar, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Cut in ¼ cup of cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the batter in the loaf pan and bake for about 50–60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Grate your zucchini finely and pat it dry to avoid excess moisture that can make your bread soggy. Adjust the streusel ingredients to taste for a personalized touch.
