Cinnamon Zucchini Coffee Cake Recipe

A coffee cake with shredded zucchini, cinnamon sugar center and crumb topping.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 3/4 C. All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
  • 1/2 C. Sugar
  • 1/2 C. Cooking Oil (such as avocado oil)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 C. Milk
  • 1/2 C. Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 2 C. Zucchini (grated)

Crumb topping and center:

  • 1/2 C. All-purpose Flour
  • 1/3 C. Brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/4 C. Unsalted Cold butter (cut into small pieces)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the crumb topping and center, stir the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the batter.
  • To make the coffee cake batter, place the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl. Stir together until fully combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Beat together using a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Add in the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and oil. Beat together until fully combined.
  • Grate the zucchini. Using a towel, gently squeeze out some of the liquid. You do not need to remove all the extra liquid, just a little.
  • Add the zucchini to the wet ingredients and fold in.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined. Pour 3/4 of the batter into a greased 8-inch springform pan or 8-inch baking pan. Spread out the batter evenly. Sprinkle half the crumb mixture over the batter. Top with remaining 1/4 of the batter and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crumb topping over the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 42-50 minutes or until the batter is set. A toothpick will come out clean once done baking. Let cool and enjoy!
